2. 2

   Turn off heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the cardmom pods and grind the seeds. If you don't have a mortar and pestle set, just place the seeds between 2 thickly folded pieces of cling wrap and crush it with any flat, reasonably heavy object.

   Add the cardamom powder to the coconut mixture and mix well. In a small pan, heat half the clarified butter and roast the almonds until golden brown. Set aside.

4. 4

   Grease your hands with a little clarified butter from the remaining half and start forming balls with the coconut mixture.

5. 5

   The ladoos should be roughly the size of golf balls and smoothened between your greased palms.

   Decorate each ladoo with a few slivers of the almonds you roasted in step 6.
