10. Take a flat plate and add fried semolina,fried grated coconut,and powdered sugar,dalia split powder and mix them well.

14. When fried they swell like balloons.

20. Take a fistful of the wet mixture and make laddoos. 
21. Add milk in small quantities only as and when required.If you add the milk all at one go,the mixture would become soggy and you can’t make laddoos.
