Poha ladoo with chocolaty coconut stuffing !! sounds interesting, isn’t it ? Chocolate, all time favorite of kids along with coconut stuffed inside the ladoo is a superb snack for kids. Here I have used the white poha, but you can use the red ones which are rich in iron. These ladoos are easy to make, you can even make it during festivals. Dry fruits (cashews, raisins) which I have used, can be omitted / any other dry fruits can be added.

- Then heat ghee, fry roughly chopped cashews and raisins. Add ghee along with fried cashews and raisins to the ground poha powder.

Notes :
- Try to make fine powder of the poha. If the powder is coarse then while making ladoos, they may break quickly. So be careful.
- These ladoos can be kept for 4-5 days.
- Cardamom is must needed for lending a divine flavor to the ladoo.
