Rava Laddoo

Rava laddoo/suji ladoo or the semolina laddoo is a very easy sweet to prepare.If you are looking for some last minute sweet preparations, then this is it... as easy as the Maladu which i posted a few days back.Very very tasty too..Kids will love it.. call it an energy booster for the kids..:)

I  love rava laddoo.. i think you find this line in every sweet recipe of mine.. well that's because i have a sweet tooth and i lovvvvveeee sweets... the more the merrier.. :)..Unfortunately Navin does not like Rava laddoo so i do not make it often.If i make it i eat it.. yes i eat up the whole lot.. I hope some day he starts liking it...(mmm.. doubtful)..

Long time back in my pre blogging days i had tried vahchefs recipe.. this time i tried Lakshmi Nair's recipe. It came out tasty but i felt that i could reduce the ghee.. So i would suggest that you adjust the quantity of ghee accordingly.That much ghee should be enough which enable you to hold the rava together and roll into a laddoo..:).. I have decided to try various rava laddoo recipes... also one with coconut in it.. So you may find rava laddoo 1,2 3 and 4 may be...lol...

I wanted to wait till the next time i make rava laddoo.. but i am a little impatient..so going ahead and posting.. anyway my food blog is not just about sharing recipes but its also about sharing the experience..:)
