Rava Besan Laddoo
Healthy Rava - Besan (Semolina - Gram flour) Laddoo !!!!
I was craving for something sweet for long. I always focus on eating healthy and wholesome. While thinking for couple of days about what can I make, I realized lot of traditional food is best in providing nutrients. Generally, we make this laddoo only in Diwali. But decided to make them during this quarantine period. Reasons are pretty simple they are healthy, yummy, simple to make, liked by all and goes well with some homemade chivda which becomes perfect evening snacks. Make it once and store it. In current situation where all household chores are done by me, it's not possible to cook all the time. So I am using such little hacks making my life easy allowing me more #metime during all this hotchpotch. This recipe belongs to my mom-in-law.
Here we go:
Ingredients:
1. Semolina (suji or rawa): 1 ½ cups
2. Gram flour (besan): 1 cup
3. Clarified butter (ghee): 1 ¼ cups
4. Sugar: 2 cups
5. Water: Just enough to cover sugar
6. Cashew nuts, almonds & raisins: ½ cup
7. Cardamom powder: 1 tablespoon
Method:
1. Heat ghee in a pan.
2. Roast gram flour on low heat until 90% done. The colour should be brown.
3. Add semolina in the same pan. Roast semolina along with gram flour on low to medium heat till aromatic. Turn off the heat.
4. Meanwhile, in another pan add sugar and water. Let sugar gets dissolve completely.
5. Once sugar syrup starts boiling, pour half of the syrup into roasted semolina - gram flour mixture. Mix
6. Let the remaining syrup simmer till it starts to form drops. To check if syrup is ready, put some syrup on the plain surface. If a drop is formed, then syrup is ready.
7. Pour into the roasted mixture. Mix.
8. Add dry fruits and cardamom powder. Mix again.
9. Roll small balls once mixture starts thickening. Ladoos should be rolled when the mixture is warm.
This is my sinful delight... 😇😇
