Coconut Rava Laddu (ladoo)

Coconut Rava Laddu is usually made for festivals especially for Diwali ( Festival of lights celebrated across India). I used to think this is really tedious to make however I was so wrong; this is perhaps one of the most easy dessert to make.......it is effortless and consumes very less time. Let's get to the ingredients and the process of making these laddu's.

Ingredients	Quantity
Rava/ Semolina (Fine)	2 cups
Ghee/ Clarified Butter	1/2 cup
Shredded Coconut	1 ½ cups
Sugar	2 cups
Evaporated Milk	5 Fluid oz can  or 147 ml
Cardamom Powder	½ tsp
Dry Fruits Crushed*	2 tbsp

*Note: I have used 1 tbsp each of almonds and cashew nuts
Method Of Preparation:

• Pour ghee into a non stick pan; once it's warm enough add semolina and keep stirring until you get nice aroma from it
• Now add shredded coconut and sugar to it; cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on low heat. Make sure it does not burn
• Remove pan from the stove and add the cardamom powder, crushed dry fruits and evaporated milk to it. Keep stirring until the evaporated milk gets absorbed .
• To make round balls wet both your hands in cold water; now take a small portion of the mixture and slowly bind it and give the required shape
• This should give you close to about 30 laddu's however the same would depend based on size you desire to make
• Let the laddu's cool down completely before these can be stored in jars or in ziplock bags

Enjoy Cooking!!!!!
