Rava Laddu

Rava Laddu is an Indian sweet ball made with semolina or sooji. There are many variations of making this simple, delicious and easy Indian sweet. I have already posted simple versions such as rava laddu and rava coconut laddu and this is another variation with condensed milk or milkmaid.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Semolina or Sooji
  • 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • less than 1/4 cup Milk or as needed
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • Cashews and Raisins
  • 3 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter)

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed frying pan and fry the cashews until light brown color.
  • Then add the raisins and fry until it plumps up. Take them out of the ghee and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the semolina and fry continuously on a medium flame till they change color to light golden.
  • Now add the coconut to it and fry for a few seconds.
  • Then add roasted nuts and cardamom powder and mix.
  • Add the condensed milk and milk to it and mix very well.
  • Switch off the flame.
  • When the mixture is warm enough to handle take a little portion of it and roll into balls.
  • Store them in an airtight container.
  • They are best to consume within 4-5 days of making them.
