Rava Ladoo - Indian Cooking Challenge

Yes , this is exciting and at times frightening too. The Indian Cooking Challenge is here. The array of dishes in the challenge is definitely making the whole event very exciting. I'm very happy to be a part of this great excitement. Kudos to Srivalli for this magnificent idea. Happy events are always started with a sweet, so here I am with the Rava Laddoo, for all you people out there.

You will need :

Rava / Semolina - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Ghee - 25 gms

Cardamom powder - a pinch

Cashew nuts - 10 whole nuts

Raisins - 10 nos

Method:

Roast the cashew and raisins separately in the kadai using a little ghee.In the same Kadai heat some more ghee and roast the rava till its slightly brown in color. In the mean while powder sugar in a blender and keep it aside. Transfer the roasted rava to a separate plate and let it cool. Powder the Roasted Rava also in the blender and mix the two powders in a bowl. To this add the roasted Cashews and Raisins along with the cardamom powder , Mix well. Add ghee little by little so that you can form balls in your hand. I made close to 25 rava laddoos and even before I could store them , my dad had popped in 4 of them. I got the verdict immediately.
