Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Rava)
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 0.25 cup Grated Coconut (fresh or desiccated)
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 2 tablespoons Cashews (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large pan on medium heat.
Add the semolina (rava) and roast it on low to medium heat while stirring continuously. Cook until it turns golden brown and aromatic. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Add the grated coconut to the roasted semolina and continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee and roast the cashews and raisins separately until golden brown. Set them aside.
In a blender or food processor, blend the sugar into a fine powder. Add the powdered sugar to the cooled semolina mixture.
Add the cardamom powder, roasted cashews, and raisins to the mixture. Mix well.
Warm up the milk slightly and add it gradually to the mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a slightly sticky consistency. Be careful not to add too much milk as it should hold together but not become overly wet.
Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a round ball (ladoo) using your palms. Continue until all the mixture is used.
Allow the ladoos to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Once set, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
