RAVA LADOO

Rava ladoo is one of the easiest and tastiest of the ladoo recipes that i know.It takes hardly 10 minutes to make this,,could you believe that?And it is filling to eat as well.I made this long back and it was due for long to post and here it comes.Mostly people think it is hard to make any kind of ladoo and for beginners this might sound pretty tricky but when you use the correct proportion of ingredients and mix well ladoo making will turn in to child’s play.So next time when preparing ladoos keep these points in mind and go ahead with your challenge to make the yummiest of ladoos.For rava ladoo we need to roast the rava and grind it to a powder.This you can do in a flour mill if you are making in large quantities say about close to a kilogram.But since i made this only a small quantity i ground it in mixer only.Now over to the recipe…

INGREDIENTS

Rava /Semolina	1 cup
Sugar	3/4 cup
Raisins	a few
Cashewnuts	a few
Cardamom Powder	1/4 tsp
Ghee	3-4 tsp

HOW TO MAKE

Dry roast rava in a pan.Once cooled add it in a blender.Add sugar also to the blender and make it into a fine powder.

In a small pan add ghee and add raisins and cashewnuts.Add the rava-sugar mixture in a vessel.Top it with roasted nuts in ghee.Add cardamom powder.Mix well and add rest of the quantity of ghee.

Make ladoos with the above mixture.

Rava ladoos are ready to be relished.

Notes

You can use roasted rava available in the market and skip the roasting part.
You can add blanched almonds too.
If you find the mixture a little dry add a spoon of milk and mix and then make ladoos.

It is Diwali season and time to make, eat and share sweets and snacks to all and how could i forget my blogger friends?So as i was wondering what to make for a sweet this traditional boondi ladoo came to mind.It was a regular and compulsory sweet without which our Diwali was incomplete during childhood days.Mom is an expert in making these and as she and dad are visiting me this Diwali i wanted to try this badly.Here comes the recipe of boondi ladoo.an easy way.

INGREDIENTS

Besan/Gram flour/Kadala maavu	1 1/2 cup
Sugar	2- 2 1/2 cups
Elachi/Cardamon powder	2 pinches
Baking soda	a pinch
Yellow food colour	a pinch
Cashewnuts	a few
Raisins	a few
Sugar candy/Diamond kalkandu	2 tsp
Cloves	6
Oil	to deep fry
Water	1/2 cup

HOW TO MAKE

In a vessel add Besan/Gram flour,baking soda,yellow food colour and water to make a thick dosa consistency batter.Add water slowly and mix don’t make it watery.

The batter’s consistency should be like this.Heat oil in a kadai and in the help of peforated laddle add the batter with help of another laddle and start tapping in.Slowly the drops of batter/Boondis will fall down on the oil.When the boondis are three fourth cooked take them out and place them on a big vessel.We don’t want crisp boondis here.

Meanwhile make a sugar syrup with sugar and water.In a vessel add sugar and water till it is evenly mixed.Make a one string consistency and you can do this by dipping your index finger and thumb so that it forms a one string. Once this consistency is reached switch off the flame and add cardamom powder.Now the sugar syrup is ready.

Now transfer the fried boondis on the syrup and repeat the boondi frying process by wiping the back side of the laddle to ensure making round boondis.Also fry cashews and raisins and add to the sugar syrup boondi mixture.Also add sugar candy/Diamond kalkandu and cloves.
