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.

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.
