Simply roast the rava and powder the rava and sugar separately in a mixer jar. And then combine the powdered rava, sugar along with roasted cashews and cardamom powder. Mix the dry ingredients well and then add melted ghee little by little. When it's warm enough to handle, prepare ladoos. Easy sweet recipe within 30 minutes with simple methods.

Tips to make perfect Rava Ladoo

To make soft rava ladoos, do not roast the rava for a long time. Roast until you get a nice aroma.
For this rava ladoo recipe, I suggest using fine rava. Please do not use the rava which are larger in size. Since we are going to powder them in a mixer jar, I recommend using fine rava which will be easy to shape the ladoos with perfect texture.
You must cool the roasted rava for 15 minutes and then powder it in a mixer jar. Do not powder them like flour. I always prefer semi fine texture.
For binding the ladoos we use ghee in this recipe. I do not prefer milk for binding as they do not have a longer shelf life.

Collection of Poriyal & Thoran - South Indian Vegetable Side Dishes for Lunch

Every day we prepare two varieties of vegetable side dishes for our lunch. Among those two varieties there must be a poriyal dish and the other one is kootu, aviyal or varuval. Varieties of poriyal dishes are countless with our seasonal vegetables. As I said in my poriyal or thuvaram dishes, we add the ground coconut mixture prepared with coconut, small onions, garlic cloves and red chilly or green chilly. This unique coconut paste is often used in our poriyal or thuvaram dishes. Some prefer to add grated coconut or desiccated coconut powder for poriyal dishes. I actually don't like poriyal dishes made without any flavours. For me, poriyal must have a mix of flavours with perfect textures. We usually precook the vegetables in a vessel (except for keerai poriyal) and then we saute it with the tempering ingredients and finished with our coconut mixture. If you find it difficult to precook the vegetables, you can prepare as you like. But actually pre cooking the ...
