Sweet Coconut balls / Kobbari Lousu / Kobbari Undalu

Kobbari Lousu

Sweet Coconut balls called as ‘KOBBARI LOUSU / KOBBARI UNDALU’ is one of the several Andhra traditional home sweets. These laddoos are very soft and delicious. This sweet is very easy to put together  with few ingredients and  makes a very delicious dessert (which I should have after every meal).

I do this sweet during festive days as I have some left over fresh coconuts .
