Add coconut. Add cardamom seeds. Then, pour sweetened condensed milk. Mix them all till it forms a thick consistency. Turn off heat and pour the mix onto a flat tray. Cool it in the refrigerator. Then, with a knife cut it in diamond shapes. Each diamond is a barfi. For Ladoo: Turn off heat and while the mix is still warm, scoop out portions and roll them in your palms to form balls. The balls become harder and look nicer when they cool down. You can store these in a box in fridge and have them over a few days.
