Rava Laddoo

This is a quick and easy sweet recipe. Like 'Besan laddoo' is a quick north Indian sweet, this one is the quick south side sweet recipe. Usually cashewnuts are added for 'Rava Laddoo', but you can also add grated/broken assorted nuts (like badam, pista, kishmish) as per your taste. If all the ingredients used are fresh, you can store this laddoo for 15-20 days. But note that if you are adding kishmish, then it may not stay for so long, you will have to consume it soon.

Ingredients :

Rava : 1 cup
Sugar : 1.5 cup (you can adjust as per taste)
Elaichi : 4
Desi ghee : 100g
Edible Camphor/pachai Karpooram/Kapur : pinch (optional)
Kaju/Cashewnut : few

Note: If you like you can add assorted nuts like badam, pista, kishmish.


Method:

1. Take a kadhai/pan. Add rava and dry roast it till it lightly changes colour.
2. Allow the rava to cool.
3. Grind rava into fine powder. Sieve it.
4. Then grind sugar into fine powder.
5. Now mix both powdered rava and sugar. Add Elaichi powder, powdered camphor(optional) and melted ghee. Mix well and make ladoos out of it.
Note: if you add even little bit excess of camphor, its flavour will dominate and spoil the taste, so make sure it is just pinch
6. If you feel you are unable to form the laddoos and that it breaks, add little more melted ghee.
