Gather 1 cup of rava (semolina), 1/2 cup of ghee (clarified butter), 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (cashews, almonds), and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder for a flavorful ladoo
In a pan, heat 1/2 cup of ghee and roast 1 cup of rava on a low flame until it turns golden brown and aromatic. Stir frequently to avoid burning. This step enhances the flavor and texture of your ladoos
In a separate pan, dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 1/4 cup of milk over medium heat. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat. This mixture will add sweetness and binding to your ladoos
Add the roasted rava to the sugar mixture. Stir continuously to blend them well. Cook on a low flame until the mixture starts to thicken and comes together, forming a dough-like consistency
Mix in 1/4 cup of chopped nuts and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder. These add a delightful crunch and aromatic flavor to your ladoos, enhancing both taste and texture
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape it into small balls using your hands. If the mixture is too hot, you can use a spoon to form the ladoos. Ensure they are evenly sized for a perfect treat
Place the shaped ladoos on a plate and let them cool completely. They will firm up as they cool, making them ready to enjoy or offer as prasad during Ganesh Chaturthi
