Rava Laddu

Rava Laddu/Semolina Laddu/Sooji Laddu

Rava Laddu is an delicious and an quick sweet which can be prepared by beginners also. My mother-in-law usually prepares this along with besan laddu and sweet kadubu for Vinyaka Chaturthi. This is an mouth watering combination of semolina-coconut-milk-cashew nuts. Its perfect to make when time is short but you still want an special desert, especially when you are making last minute preparations.

Ingredients: 1cup rava/semolina/sooji
                    3/4cup grated coconut
                    3/4cup powdered sugar
                    1/4cup milk
                    1/4cup chopped cashew
                    2tbsp ghee
                    1tsp cardamom powder

Method: 1)Heat a tbsp of ghee and roast the rava in medium flame till it turns golden brown. Allow it to                   cool.
              2)Heat a tbsp of ghee and roast the chopped cashew until it turns golden brown, now add
                 coconut and fry for a minute.
              3)Add powdered sugar, rava and mix well. Put off the flame and add milk till it reaches the
                 consistency of preparing laddus.
              4)Allow it to cool little and when you can bear the heat, divide the mixture into equal portions                   and make laddus out of them. You can store this in an air tight container for 2-3days.
