1. Please check the label for ingredients list for food coloring if you want them to be gluten free or you can leave it altogether.
2. Coconut tends to burn very fast. Make sure you are cooking on medium low heat.
3. This is a very easy recipe and tastes very good. You can add different colors to make different laddoos. Be creative with the dough. I tried making a flower .
4. Do not overcook. It will make the laddoos hard.
