Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Semolina (Rava) | 2 1/2 cups |
| Powdered Sugar | 1 cup |
| Ghee | 2 1/2 cups |
| Cardamom Powder | 3 – 5 pods |
| Coconut (optional) | 1/2 cup |
| Cashews/Almonds | For decoration |
| Raisins | For decoration |
Instructions:
-
Roast the Semolina: Heat a pan over medium heat and add semolina (rava). Roast it until it turns pinkish-brown in color, stirring continuously to avoid burning. This step adds a delightful nutty flavor to your ladoos.
-
Add Coconut and Sugar: Once the semolina is roasted, add coconut (if using), powdered sugar, and ghee to the pan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Continue Roasting: Roast the mixture for a little longer until it releases a fragrant aroma and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture slightly. Keep stirring to ensure even cooking.
-
Add Cardamom Powder: Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle freshly ground cardamom powder over the mixture. Cardamom adds a delightful aroma and flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the ladoos.
-
Bind into Ladoos: While the mixture is still warm, take small portions of it and shape them into round balls or ladoos using your palms. The warmth will help in binding the ingredients together easily.
-
Decorate: Once all the ladoos are shaped, decorate them by pressing a cashew or almond into the center of each ladoo. You can also garnish with raisins for added sweetness and texture.
-
Optional Decoration: For an extra touch of elegance, consider decorating your ladoos with silver warakh (edible silver foil). This adds a beautiful sheen and makes your ladoos look even more irresistible.
Now, your delectable Rava Ladoos are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a sweet treat during festivals, celebrations, or simply whenever you crave something indulgent yet wholesome. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite! 🎉🍬
