Rava Ladoo

We used to make this Rava Laddu for Diwali at our home. It is easy to make and has an excellent shelf life.It can stay fresh for a month when stored in air tight containers.

Ingredients
Coarse Rava : 1 cup
Sugar: 1 cup
Ghee: 1/4 cup
Cardomom-3
Yields: 12 medium sized ladoos
Procedure:
Step1:
Roast the rava with 1 tsp of ghee until a nice aroma comes out (The color will also change lightly)
Make sure that the rava doesnt get burnt.Stir continuously

Step2:
Cool the rava and powder it to a fine powder


Step3:
Powder the sugar and cardomom as well and mix it with rava powder

Step4:
Heat ghee and fry the cashews

Step5:
When the ghee is still warm pour it into the rava mixture and mix well

Step6:
Press tightly and make the laddoos. if the powder is still brittle add some more warm ghee and make the shapes


Step7:
Once cooled store them in air tight container


Note:
You can also make ladoos by sprinkling warm milk and reducing the amount of ghee.However this will reduce the shelf life
