Notes
- Choosing Sooji / Rava - Choose fine variety of semolina or rava or sooji preferably.
- Roasting Sooji - While roasting rava take care not to brown it, be very careful to turn over if not it might get browned at the bottom. Roast it well for 5-7 minutes stirring continuously. After roasting immediately transfer it to a bowl to cool down, do not let it in the pan itself as the heat of the pan might brown the rava.
- Grinding Sooji - The texture of rava should be slightly coarse else while eating it will not have the crunch and will not taste good. Also take care not to grind the rava too coarse else shaping will be difficult.
- Mixing - While mixing sooji and sugar, mix thoroughly so that the sugar is evenly distributed. Also add sugar only when rava is warm, if it is too hot then sugar will start melting making the mixture runny.
- Adding ghee - Do not add more ghee, it will make the laddu look dull and alter the taste. Also use homemade or fresh ghee for best flavor.
- Nuts - I have used chopped cashews, you can even use almonds, raisins too.
- Sugar - Adding ¾ cup sugar will be just perfect, it will taste a bit over sweet when you taste it just after making but will be perfect after few hrs.
