Rava Laddu

Print Pin
Course: Desserts, Sweets
Cuisine: Indian
Servings: 6 -7
Author: Maria Jose Martin

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rava / Semolina / Sooji
  • 1/2 cup Grated Coconut
  • 3/4 – 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Warm milk
  • 15 Cashews and raisins (each)
  • a pinch Cardamom powder
  • 1.5 tbsp Ghee

Instructions

  • Heat 1/2 tbsp ghee in a pan and roast the cashews till they turn golden brown. Transfer this to a deep and wide bowl. Fry the raisins till they become plump and transfer to the bowl.
  • Add grated coconut and roast it for 2-3 mins, they dont have to change colour, keep it with cashews and raisins. Add remaining ghee and roast the rava. Roast it for 5 mins, till the roasted aroma comes. Transfer the roasted rava also to the bowl.
  • Add powdered sugar and cardamom to the rava coconut mixture. Mix well. Add the milk gradually. Do not add the whole qty of milk at a time. Add half of the milk and try shaping the laddus, if it isnt moist enough add the rest of the milk. Shape laddus as per your preference.

Notes

I got 18 small size laddus from the above qty. Add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar initially and do a taste test. If you prefer a sweeter version, add more powdered sugar.
The laddus will harden a bit on the outside in a few minutes of shaping them, but the inside will be moist and soft.
You can keep the laddus at room temp for 2-3 days and in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

  16. Hi Maria,

    I love reading your blog, and am very happy that you’re
    doing what you do… teaching people to cook with healthy ingredients is so
    important in fostering a healthy life and more importantly a healthy
    future. Today I am contacting you
    because I too am trying to do my part in getting people to eat and live
    healthier. In 2008 I set on a quest to
    look for the ideal cooking pot, one that would give me all the nutrients from
    the food being cooked without adding its own ingredients or contaminants. It was a personal happening that led me to do
    this and all my research pointed out in one direction — Pure Clay. After several years of research and travel I
    set out to make my line of pure clay cooking pots and their made in the
    USA. I had benefited so much from cooking
    in these pots that I had to share it with the world.

    We choose to keep our raw material pure because the
    health benefits are overwhelming this way and greatly surpass that of cookware
    made from other kinds of manufactured clay like ceramic etc. I have come to read and love your blog
    greatly and would like you to consider taking part in our Affiliate Program so
    we can together promote this extremely healthy way of cooking to all your
    readers. You can find all the
    information about our cookware at miriamsearthencookware dot com or
    PureClayCookware dot com and sign up for the affiliate program by clicking on
    the affiliate tab on top.

    And oh by the way we’re giving out pots to those who sign
    up early and the list is quickly filling up, I really hope you can be a part of
    it. We need your help in bringing back
    to life this beautiful, healthy, extremely eco-friendly method of cooking, it
    goes so well with your theme of helping people eat healthy, so do consider joining
    us.

    Good luck with your blog.
