Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rava Laddu (Semolina Sweet Balls).
Step 1
To start your delightful journey in making Rava Laddus, grab a large, dry skillet and place it over medium to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once it’s warm, add the semolina flour and toast it gently, stirring constantly.
Step 3
You’ll know it’s ready when it turns a lovely light brown and fills your kitchen with a wonderful, nutty aroma—this should take about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a separate small skillet, warm a little ghee over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the cashew nuts and toast them until they’re lightly golden, which should also take around 10 minutes.
Step 6
Once they’re perfectly toasted, mix the cashews into the semolina mixture along with the remaining ghee, creating a rich and flavorful blend.
Step 7
Now, gradually pour in some hot milk while stirring continuously.
Step 8
This step is crucial as it helps the mixture thicken to the right consistency, making it easy to shape into delightful little balls.
Step 9
After removing the skillet from the heat, let the mixture cool slightly—just enough so you can handle it without burning your hands.
Step 10
Once it’s cool enough, take a handful and form the mixture into palm-sized balls, feeling the texture and warmth as you create these sweet treats.
Step 11
Finally, allow the Rava Laddus to cool completely before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and share these delicious bites with family and friends, or savor them all to yourself!.
