Ingredients

Rava (semolina) - 1/2cup

Shredded coconut - 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Water - 5 tbsp

Suger - 250g

Ghee - 2 tbsp 

Cashew nuts - as needed

Raisins - as needed

PREPARATION

Step 1

Heat a pan, add rava (semolina). For making this laddu, you first need to roast the rava, and stir it continuously till you get a nice aroma, this will take around 6-7 minutes. Please remember to keep stirring because rava once hot can burn very quickly. You don’t want it to stick to the pan. Once roasted, set aside and let it cool down a bit.

Step 2 

Heat a pan, add ghee and fry cashews and raisins seperately until light brown over low flame. Drain and transfer to a plate. 

Step 3

∆ Heat water and suger in the kadai over medium flame and stir continuously.

∆ Then add shredded coconut and cardomom powder, stir continuously until it becomes sticky and lightly one string consistency.

∆ Turn off the flame.

Step 4

Then and semolina (rava) into coconut mixture and mix well.

Step 5

∆ Before the heat cools, take a small amount of mixture in your hand.

∆ Press it with your hands and from a round shape of a size of a golf ball. 

∆ Garnish with nuts and raisins while holding it with your hands.

∆ Repeat the process till the mixture is over. I was able to get 20 laddus out of this.
