I wanted to try cashew pista rolls but I didn't have time so I moved that experiment to Diwali..... I kept it simple this time and ..made rava laddu, thengai burfi, seedai and thattai....
this is the first am trying rava laddu here ...once H mentioned he is not a great fan of it so never made it but I was tempted to try it this time because it is so simple to make.
The ratio used back home (is 2:1) for Rava Laddu is little different but I changed the ratio to 1:2 because the sugar from Sams is not as sweet.... but it was not too sweet ...it was just the right amount!

| Rava Laddu |
Ingredients
Rava 1 Cup
Sugar 2 Cups
Raisins - fried in ghee
Cardamom 4
Cashew, Almonds broken - fried in ghee
Ghee melted (warm it for making urundais/laddus)
Roast the rava in little ghee till it gets nice aroma. Keep it aside. Allow it to cool. Grind the sugar into fine powder along with the cardamoms. Transfer it into a big vessel. Now grind the rava into a fine powder.
Mix the rava and powdered sugar really well. Add the roasted nuts and raisins to the powdered mixture. Mix it well. Warm the ghee. Split the portions and add ghee to that part of the portion. Make urundais/laddus. Cup your hands and hold the laddu mixture into your fingers. and then press them with the other hand. Do not add milk it will start getting a stale smell very soon. Follow the procedure and make the laddus. Enjoy! I would say this is one of the easiest recipes and it can be made really fast....though it has sugar atleast you skip the frying part!
