INGREDIENTS
Fine rava/semolina – 1 cup
Mawa/khoya – 1 cup (grated or crumbled)
Powdered sugar – 1 cup
Ghee – 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder – 1/4 teaspoon
Few cashewnuts and raisins for garnishing
HOW TO MAKE RAVA LADOO WITH KHOYA RECIPE
Heat ghee in a pan on medium flame. Add the rava and mix very well. Now lower the flame and keep stirring the rava till it changes colour and you get a nice aroma of roasted rava.
Once the rava is roasted well and has absorbed the ghee, add the crumbled mawa. Mix well.
Keep stirring the mixture. The mawa/khoya will start melting a bit. Stir for 1 more minute and switch off the flame.
Pour the mixture to a mixing bowl and allow the mixture to cool down a bit. Now add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well. When the mixture is still warm, grease your palms with little ghee and start shaping into ladoos.
Garnish the ladoos with cashewnuts and raisins. Now rava khoya ladoos are ready to be served. Store them in an airtight container.
NOTES/TIPS
When the mixture is still warm, shape the ladoos.
Since khoya is added, these ladoos stay good for a day or two at room temperature. If refrigerated, they stay good for a week.
