Ingredients : (18-20 ladoos)
■ Rava – 1 cup
■ Ghee – 2 tablespoons (you could use even unsalted butter)
■ Fresh gratted Coconut – 3/4th cup
■ Sugar – 1 cup
■ Milk – 1/2 cup
■ Saffron – 1 pinch put in hot milk for some time
■ Raisins – 1/4th cup
■ Nuts – 1/2 cup ( I mixed almonds, cashews and pistachios…you could even use walnuts)
Method:
■ In a flat plate take sugar and keep that side.
■Melt the ghee in a non-stick pan on medium heat and fry the rava/semolina gently till golden brown and till you get a fragrant roasted rava aroma. The color will change slightly and also it won’t taste raw. Add this rava to sugar.
■Add 1tbsp ghee in the same pan on medium heat and roast the raisins for a minute till they puff up. Remove with a slotted spoon.
■In the same ghee, fry the nuts till golden brown and remove these too. Transfer these nuts to a chopping board and coarsely chop them.
■Now add fresh gratted cocnut and fry till the color change slightly.
■Now add dry fruits and coconut into the previous mixture(rava and sugar).
■Add luke warm milk and make small golf ball size of the mixture.
■Laddos are ready.
