Kajjikayalu is a generic name in telugu given to Karanji or gujiya but these kova ladoo are for some reason known as kova kajjikayalu, probably since they are stuffed. To make kova kajjikayalu, first jaggery coconut ladoos are made. Then these are stuffed in sweetened koya or kova mixture. These are fairly easy to make and needs no special skills like syrup consistency. These are available in well known sweet stalls in Andhra pradesh. The store bought ones look white in color probably due to the addition of flour and refined sugar. The recipe I have shared here uses no flour and is made with organic sugar hence the pale color. Kova kajjikayalu are very delicious, quick to make and are great to gift to your friends or family. You can also split the recipe and make the coconut stuffing ahead and refrigerate. The next day you can easily make the kova kajjikayalu under 15 to 20 mins. We usually use fresh grated coconut. But you can also use desiccated coconut or dried copra. But the flavor is different yet very good. I have shaped them to round balls. You can however give them other shapes by using mould. To make these kova ladoo, I used store bought kova or mawa. However you can also make your own at home. It is tedious but can make it if kova is not available in your place.
