Bread Laddu
Old-fashioned Kerala sweetmaking — no shortcuts, no substitutes. Jaggery, ghee, and coconut come together through slow cooking and patience into something far greater than the sum of their parts.

- 12 slice Bread
- 1 cup Desiccated coconut
- 5 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Milk

Cut bread into small pieces in a wide skillet.

Tip
When working with jaggery, always melt and strain it first. Even the best quality jaggery has some grit that needs to be removed.
