Rava ladoo recipe, how to make rava urundai

December 20, 2010 by Raks Anand 73 Comments / Jump to Recipe

Rava Ladoo recipe
Rava ladoo, rava urundai is an very easy to prepare sweet for Diwali! Full video, step by step pictures recipe. Just 4 steps to make!

I made these last week for my in-laws, this ladoo is everyone’s favorite there 🙂 This is one of the very basic ladoo we make for festivals like diwali. Mom makes this every time 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.

Rava urundai


Thinking that I am trying something different to picture these rava ladoos, I made them look so unusual 🙁…Bear with it! Check out my rava khoya laddu

Course Sweets
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 20
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rava /sooji/ semolina
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Ghee
  • 1 cardamom
  • 8 Cashew nuts

Instructions

  • Heat a pan and add the rava,reduce flame and roast the rava until a nice aroma comes,make sure to not change the rava colour and roast evenly. To ensure this,keep stiring continuously.
  • Cool down and grind it into a very fine powder using mixer. (If you are making in bulk,you can grind in mill).
  • Powder the sugar into a very fine powder as well,along with elachi.Transfer the powdered rava and sugar to a large bowl. (if you want you can sieve both to get a smooth finish ladoo).
  • Fry broken cashews in the ghee and add these to the rava and sugar mixture.
  • Mix thoroughly. First you can use a ladle to mix as the ghee will be hot. Wait until it is warm enough to handle.
  • 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.

Rava ladoo recipe method:

    1. Heat a pan and add the rava, reduce flame and roast the rava until a nice aroma comes,make sure to not change the rava colour and roast evenly. To ensure this, keep stirring continuously.Firstly
