- 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.

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 color. So add accordingly.
