How to Make Rava Ladoo (Rava Laddu):
1 cup of rava / sooji / semolina, the fine kind
2 tbsp of ghee
A handful of raisins and cashew nuts
1/2 cup of grated coconut
1/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of milk
A generous pinch of cardamom powder
How to Make Rava Ladoo (Rava Laddu):
1.
Keep the flame
low throughout the process of making rava ladoo.
2.
Grind the
coconut grated and cardamom together.
3.
Heat the ghee
in a pan and add the cashew nuts and raisins.
4.
Add the
coconut-cardamom mixture to the roasting nuts and raisins.
5.
Mix ones and
add the rava next.
6.
Fry this mixture for 2-3 mins and then add. sugar.
7.
Continue to
roast the rava mixture until the colour changes to a light brown. The process
of roasting the rava took me about 5-6 mins. Once the rava is browned lightly,
turn off the flame and slowly add the milk, stirring continuously as you do so.
8.
Once all the
milk is added, continue to mix until the ladoo mixture comes together. It will
be quite moist and will stick around your ladle.
9.
When the ladoo
mixture is warm enough to handle, make into lemon-sized balls and gently set
aside. If the mixture is too dry, sprinkle water or milk as you shape the
ladoos.
10.
Done! As I
said, the entire process of making rava
laddu took me no longer than 20 minutes and I got 12 medium-sized ladoos from
this quantity.
