RAVA LADDU

Rava laddu is a type of sweet ball made from Rava/semolina, sugar, milk, and almonds. It’s one of my favorite candies. My mother cooks it frequently when we get home from school. Rava laddu can be made with few ingredients and in a short amount of time. My friend’s mother used to grind rava after roasting it, which I dislike. Because I enjoy feeling the Rava when biting into the laddu.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Rava (semolina)
• a cup of sugar
• 4 tablespoons – Ghee
• 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Of warm milk
• Cardamom – 2 nos.
• Cashew nuts, 10 pcs.
• Raisins – 10 pcs.

Preparation method:

1. Add sugar and cardamom to a mixer grinder and grind to a fine powder. Place aside.
2. In a pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee and roast cashew nuts and raisins till golden brown. Place aside.
3. Add the remaining ghee to the same pan and roast the Rava well. Place aside.
4. In a mixing dish, combine the roasted Rava, roasted cashew nuts and raisins, and crushed sugar. Now, gradually add warm milk, a bit at a time, and make a lemon-sized ball out of it. The Rava laddu is ready to be served.

Notes:

• Once the rava has been roasted, grind it into a fine powder in a mixer grinder/blender and proceed with the remainder of the laddu-making stages.
• Overcooking the Rava will ruin the flavor of the laddu.
• You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
• If you use too much milk, the laddu will get droopy. Pour the milk in little increments so you know how much you need.
