Rava Ladoo, Rava urundai
Rava ladoo or Rava Laddu or rava urundai is an very easy to prepare sweet for Diwali! I made these last week for my loveable in-laws,these ladoos are everyone’s favourite here 🙂 This is one of the very basic ladoo we make for festivals like diwali. Mom makes this everytime I visit her specially for my in laws family and pass it through me.  She makes it as a mixture, I go there and shape it and give it to them. I remember this being called as seeni urundai too.
Thinking that I am trying something different to picture these rava ladoos,I made them look so unusual 🙁…Bear with it!!

  6. Make small balls out of this mixture immediately, roll it tight,i f you could not roll and the mixture is too dry, add more warm ghee to it and make balls again.

Notes

  • At times we add milk as binding agent, but I avoid it these days.
  • Make sure to powder the rava very very fine,if its coarse,it will not hold the shape for long and easily get broken.
  • Add warm,heated ghee and make laddu immediately as this will give you mighty ladoos,wont break easily.
  • Adding more ghee makes the ladoo look dull in colour. So add accordingly.

Ladoos are ready to enjoy. we call rava ladoo as seeni urundai if I remember right.
