Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Cup Chiroti Rava / Sooji
- 1 Cup granulated Sugar, powdered in a mixie
- 1/2 Cup fresh shredded Coconut
- 3 Cardamoms, powdered fine
- a pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon Cashewnuts, chopped fine
- 1 Tablespoon Chironji Seeds (saara paruppu)
- 1 Tablespoon raisins
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Heat ghee in a pan and add in the cashew nuts and chironji seeds. Fry till the cashew nuts are lightly brown.
- Add in the raisins and the freshly shredded coconut. Fry for a minute until the coconut is lightly brown.
- Now, add in the sooji rava and fry for 10 minutes. The rava is fried and done when a nice nutty smell fills the kitchen and the rava is very slightly brown. It will roughly take about 10 minutes.
- Add in the powdered sugar and mix well for 30-40 seconds. Switch off the flame.
- Add in 1/4 cup of boiling hot water to the mixture and mix well to combine. Add more water if the mixture is crumbly. Dont add all of the 1/2 cup water at once. Wait for 2-3 minutes and form laddus the size you prefer. If the laddus crumble in your hand, add a couple of tablespoon of hot water to loosen the mixture.
- Wait for the laddus to completely cool. Store the laddus in a jar with a lid. The laddus will last for 2 days at room temperature.
