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.
