Rava Ladoo

I think of all the ladoos this is the easiest and very tasty. I always refer Meenakshi Ammal's Cook and See to make sweets and savouries. This is also adapted from her book. I have reduced the quantity of ingredients and made small differences in method.



Ingredients

Suji Rava - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 1/4 cup
Cardamom pdr - 1 tsp
Cashewnuts - handful( broken)

Method

Heat a pan and fry the suji rava till it is golden brown. Keep on stirring it and adjust the heat when frying since it can burn fast. Spread it on a plate and let it cool down.
Grind the sugar in the mixie till smooth. Add the Rava and grind it again . Rava should nicely blend with sugar. It should not be too smooth.

1) In the same pan add 1 tsp ghee. Fry the cashewnut. Add rest of the ghee. When the ghee is hot off the heat. Add the ground ravasugar mixture and cardamom pdr. Mix well with a spatula. After 3-4 mnts try to make small balls of the mixture. If it is too hot for your hands even then wait till it is warm. The ladoos will be a little soggy, but it will set well after half an hour.

2) Another method you can use is mix the fried cashews, ravasugar mixture and cardamom pdr well. Heat the ghee seperately. Pour it in to the mixture little by little . Mix it and make the ladoos.
