Rava laddu is one super easy tasty indian sweet that can be easily made within 20 minutes. Even beginners who are learning to cook can make Rava laddu easily.
Sometimes easy recipes stand out in the crowd, and according me, Rava ladoo is definately one among them. Back in India, Amma used to grind rava in mill for smooth texture. Here in US since thats not possible, I got a fine rava and grinded in mixie. Though texture differs slightly i still loved it this way too.
Rava laddu doesn’t require much ingredients. With the common pantry ingredients laddu can be made in no time. Many versions to make this tasty sweets. Some adds coconut, milk also make sugar syrup for the Urundai. This method doesn’t required any sugar syrup string consistency. Put everything together and make laddu. How easy is that😊

Notes
- Confectionery sugar can be used instead of regular sugar
- If you want to cut down on ghee use small amount of warm milk to make laddu. Shelf life of laddu made with milk is less
- Use warm melted ghee to make laddu. Laddu can be easily made only with warm ghee. Difficult to roll Laddu with room temperature ghee
- If you are beginner add warm ghee little by little and roll into laddu
- If the entire ghee is added on one shot then laddu needs to be done quickly joy. Since I and amma did together I added the ghee fully
- If you are going to add ghee in batches mix Rava, powdered sugar, cashew, cardamom powder well before adding the ghee
- Preferably use fine Rava for the laddu
- If you are using cardamom pods instead of cardamom powder grind it along with rava
- This can be stored in a air tight box for 4-5 days in room temperature
- Amount of ghee required may vary slightly based on the Rava you are using. Keep 2 tablespoon warm ghee just in case
- If you feel it difficult to roll the laddu add little ghee and try rolling

Don't need to cook the Rava?
