Rava Ladoos - Krishna Janmashtami special

I wasn't used to celebrating festivals alone. Mom or mom-in-law would do the needful and I used to be there as helping hand n participation. This year has been the do-it-yourself time. I sure didn't want to miss out on these occasions. After all, life is full of celebrations and these occasions are more colorful.

So, for Krishna Janmashtami, decided to make some Rava ladoos, Nippattu and of course Poha.

Ingredients:
1 cup Sooji Rava/Semolina
1 cup fine sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cashew nuts and raisins
2-3 tbsp ghee
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 tsp cardamom powder/elaichi

Preparation time: 20-30 minutes

Preparation:

• Heat ghee in a small pan/kadhai.
• Saute raisins & cashew nuts, set them aside.
• Saute shredded coconut, set it aside.
• Roast rava in ghee till you get the aroma (you will know the raw smell of rava settling & the aroma).
• Mix all of it - roasted rava, coconut, cashew nuts, raisin, elaichi in a container.
• Add warm milk little by little while you mix till you are able to gather it up as balls.
