01 Semolina or rava- 1 cup
02 Ghee- 1/2 cup
03 Sugar- 1 tbsp
04 Water- As required
05 Cashew nuts- 4-5
06 Raisins- 7-8
07 Almonds- 6-7
08 Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
09 Dry coconut (shredded)- Half cup
Take a pan and add 1 cup of rava and half a cup of dry shredded coconut. On medium heat, roast until it turns golden. After roasting, keep it aside and let it cool.
Add 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar and cardamom powder to a grinder jar. You can add sugar as per your taste.
Add roasted rava and coconut to the grinder as well. The texture should be slightly coarse. If it is too coarse, grind it for a further few minutes.
Take out the mixture in a bowl and keep it aside.
Heat a pan and pour 4 tbsp ghee. Add dry fruits like cashew nut, almonds, and raisins and fry them until it turns light golden.
Now, transfer this hot ghee along with dry fruits to the rava ladoo mixture. Use a spoon to mix everything well.
Take small portions of the mix on your palm and shape it to form a round ball. Each rava ladoo needs at least 60 to 90 seconds.
If binding the ladoo gets difficult, heat some more tbsp of ghee and pour it into the rava mix. You can also use milk.
Let the ladoo cool down and then keep it tightly closed in an airtight container.
