Looking for a traditional Indian dessert that's perfect for any occasion or festival? Look no further than Rava Ladoo! Made with rava/semolina, ghee, sugar, and desiccated coconut, this delicious dessert is the perfect way to end any holiday meal.
If you're new to making Rava Ladoo, don't worry! I've included step-by-step instructions at the bottom of this post. And if you have any questions or get stuck along the way, just leave me a comment, and I'll be happy to help.
To make the perfect Rava Ladoo, here are a few tips to keep in mind. First, try to use coarse rava to get the perfect texture. Second, roast the rava over low heat until it turns a golden brown and releases a fragrant aroma. But be careful not to over-brown it.
Finally, when preparing the laddus, add 2 tbsp of milk or melted ghee as a binding agent. For this recipe, I used milk, but if you use milk, be sure to consume the Rava Ladoo within 2 to 3 days.
So what are you waiting for? Try out this amazing Rava Ladoo recipe and light up your Diwali celebrations!
