Rava Ladoo

             These Sweet ladoos made of Semolina and coconut is an Indian specialty traditionally made during almost all festivals that would remind each of us of our childhood days.Every year my mother used to make Rava ladoo for my birthday as this is my all time favourite sweet.. I made this ladoo first time after marriage for my birthday following her recipe. 

Preparing the Rava ladoo is very simple and easy but every ingredient should be cooked with lots of patience to get the perfect rava ladoo.Note that while roasting the semolina make sure the flame in simmered completely or else there are chances for the rava to get burnt. Milk can be added if the rava mixture is dry while making ladoos. Add milk slowly as the mixture would become soggy if all the milk is added at one go. 

Go on and make the ladoos...All the best!!!!
