Notes

  1. Confectionery sugar can be used instead of regular sugar
  2. 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
  3. Use warm melted ghee to make laddu. Laddu can be easily made only with warm ghee. Difficult to roll Laddu with room temperature ghee
  4. If you are beginner add warm ghee little by little and roll into laddu
  5. 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
  6. If you are going to add ghee in batches mix  Rava, powdered sugar, cashew, cardamom powder well before adding the ghee
  7. Preferably use fine Rava for the laddu
  8. If you are using cardamom pods instead of cardamom powder grind it along with rava
  9. This can be stored in a air tight box for 4-5 days in room temperature
  10. Amount of ghee required may vary slightly based on the Rava you are using. Keep 2 tablespoon warm ghee just in case
  11. If you feel it difficult to roll the laddu add little ghee and try rolling
