Recipe for Rava Laddoo

To prepare this delicious Rava Laddoo dish, place grated coconut in a glass basin. In the same bowl, add the sugar. Set the mixture aside. Now, turn up the heat to medium in a nonstick pan. When the rava reaches a cream colour, add the semolina to the pan and continue to roast. Remove the pan from the hob.
Step 2: Combine roasted rava, coconut, and additional ingredients.
After adding ghee, top the layer of rava and ghee with the grated coconut and sugar. Thoroughly combine the components. Next, thoroughly combine it with the powdered cardamom and nutmeg.
Step 3: Using the rava mixture, make laddoo.

These rava laddoos keep well in an airtight container, so you can have them whenever you’d like. They’ll remain fresh for about ten to twelve days straight because of their prolonged shelf life. As an evening snack, savour the laddoos with a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
