Notes

Desiccated Coconut 
Desiccated coconut is dried, finely shredded coconut. 
If you have larger shredded coconut or coconut flakes, you can roughly powder them in the blender. It should be the texture of husk.
Cardamom Powder
You can use store-bought cardamom powder or essence.
Or you can powder cardamom pods in the blender.
Or you can pound the black seeds found inside the cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle
Storing
These laddus last 6-7 days in the refrigerator. They will not last longer than 1-2 days at room temperature. Especially in hot & Humid areas.
Keep it in an air-tight container like Tupperware.
Serving
Serve the laddus at room temperature. The laddus tend to get hard in the refrigerator.
