Quick Coconut Pistachio Ladoo

Festivals are sweet, but your prep doesn’t have to be sticky. These laddoos come together faster than your cousin’s RSVP. 💚

Whether you forgot dessert or just want a quick win, these creamy coconut pistachio laddoos have your back. With just a few ingredients and zero stress, they’re perfect for Raksha Bandhan or any moment that needs a little sweetness (read: most of August).

🌿 Ingredients

  • 1 tsp ghee
  • 100 g desiccated coconut (+ extra for coating)
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk (adjust for sweetness)
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Cardamom powder

📝 Method

  1. Heat ghee in a non-stick pan and add the desiccated coconut.
  2. Roast lightly — no browning! Just enough to release the aroma.
  3. Add condensed milk, and stir until it all comes together.
  4. Add cardamom powder and chopped pistachios. Mix well.
  5. Let the mixture cool a bit, then roll into laddoos.
  6. Coat each one in coconut, garnish with pistachio and ready to serve!

💡 Tips

  • Use fresh coconut if you're fancy — but desiccated works great for speed.
  • Don’t overcook the mix, or it’ll dry out.
  • Shape laddoos while the mix is warm for best results.

A Brew From the Vedas

  A Brew From the Vedas Long before coffee shops rang in the morning, our ancestors were perfecting kadha — a powerful Ayurvedic decoction simmered in water until all its healing herbs woke up. This humble drink is mentioned in texts like the Charak Samhita , highlighting it as one of the five key ways to consume medicinal botanicals — drawing out the goodness from roots, barks, and spices into a potent remedy. Why It Warms Everything Kadha isn’t just tradition — it’s a botanical powerhouse that gets your body back in balance: Turmeric + black pepper : The inflammation-fighting, curcumin-boosting duo that helps absorb nutrients. Ginger, cinnamon, cloves, tulsi : The digestive, antiviral, and antioxidant squad. Together, they ease digestion, soothe your throat, and help detoxify. Adaptogens (ashwagandha, licorice, amla) : The stress-busting, immunity-boosting herbs that support your body’s natural defense system. My Kadha Moment Picture this: a quiet evening, ra...

Wandering Hanoi

Wandering Hanoi | A Travel Story from Suchi’s World Some places ask you to plan. Hanoi asks you to feel. I didn’t go to Hanoi with a list. I went with a vibe. That first morning, I didn’t rush off to see the sights — I wandered through alleys where scooters swerved like water and the air smelled like coconut coffee and chili oil. A woman offered lotus tea with a shy smile. Somewhere in the chaos, the city whispered, “Go slow.” And that’s how Hanoi unfolded. I wasn’t checking boxes. I was chasing feelings. 🚂 When the Train Street Shook the Ground No, it wasn’t scary. It was synchrony. I went to Train Street at night — the crowd hushed as the rails began to buzz. A waiter gestured us all to step back with the grace of someone who’s done it a hundred times. And when that train passed, thundering inches from my face, the lanterns barely moved. Somehow, everything stayed exactly where it belonged. Moments later, the street was a market again, soft with fairy lights and handmade magnets lin...

Turning Monday chaos into charm — mini idli tadka with a spicy twist!

Image
  When Monday Hit Like a Pressure Cooker Monday didn’t knock — it barged in. The kid’s tiffin wasn’t planned. The fridge had exactly two useful things: leftover dosa batter and my half-forgotten optimism. Breakfast needed to be: Hot Fast Not toast (again) And preferably magical enough to distract from the fact that someone couldn’t even wait 10 minutes for poha to soak 😅 So I did what all flustered moms with a South Indian soul and a mischievous mind do — I made mini idlis . But not just plain ones. These little babies got the tadka treatment . When Panic Meets a Good Tempering There’s something about a good tadka that feels like taking back control. The mustard seeds crackle, the curry leaves dance, and for 45 seconds, you’re not thinking about emails or bus timings — you’re watching flavor happen in real time. That’s what I poured all over those soft, fresh mini idlis. Suddenly, it wasn’t just breakfast. It was a bite-sized bowl of comfort, with a kick. ...
