Easy Rava (Semolina) Ladoos

Ingredients:

 1-cup semolina [sooji or rava]

 4 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon ghee

 One cup granulated sugar

 4-5 green cardamom pods

 2-3 tablespoons milk

 2 tablespoons cashew, broken

 1-tablespoon raisins

Method:

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee on medium heat. Once hot add the sooji and roast it stirring continuously until you get a nice aroma, this will take around 6-7 minutes.

Once roasted, set aside and let it cool down a bit.

In another pan, heat 1 teaspoon of ghee on medium heat. Once hot, fry the cashews and raisins in it until nice golden brown. Once the sooji has cooled down a bit, grind it using a blender. Transfer to a large bowl, also add the fried nuts. In a blender, grind together granulated sugar and cardamom seeds. Mix the grind sugar into the sooji and nuts mixture.

Add 3 tablespoons of warm melted ghee and mix. Also, add 1-2 tablespoon of milk.

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. If you are not able to form a ladoo, add 1 more tablespoon of milk. Repeat the process until the mixture is over.

Garnish with nuts [optional].
