Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

2 tablespoon cashews
1 cup semolina/rava
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
6 tablespoon warm melted ghee

Instructions

In a pan, add a teaspoon of ghee. Add and roast the rava for 2-3 minutes on medium flame. Keep mixing it continuously. It should release an aroma and slightly change color.
Transfer to a plate immediately.
Add a teaspoon of ghee to the same pan and roast the cashews for a minute on medium flame. Be careful to not burn them.
Transfer to the same plate. Allow it to cool down completely.
Then transfer it to a dry blender jar.
Add sugar and cardamom powder.
Grind it to make a smooth powder.
Transfer this back to a large plate. Chef tip - Sieve this if you want a super smooth mix. Do a taste test. If it's not sweet enough, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Warm the remaining ghee and add two tablespoons to the plate.
Mix and keep adding more ghee as you mix. Take a spoonful and press it firmly with your hands to shape them. If you are able to shape them into medium lemon-sized balls, then stop adding more ghee. I added a total of 5 tablespoons of ghee to make these Rava Ladoos. Make as many ladoos as you need and serve.

Notes

The laddu needs to be firm and not break very easily. Adjust ghee/semolina as required. Store the laddu in an airtight container and it stays good for more than a week.
You can also add roasted cashews in the mix.
