Saffron/ Kesar- few strings(soak in tbsp of milk )
Method#1:
- Heat a non stick pan. Add a tbsp ghee and let it melt. Fry currants and drain out.
- Now add some more ghee. Roast rava till it turns light golden color on low flame. Keep monitoring and stirring continuously. Do not let it burnt as this will spoil the ladoo taste.
- Meanwhile powder the sugar and add it to the rava. Mix well and stir for few minutes. Add cashew nut and currants to the rava mixture.
- Add 1/4 cup of milk, saffron and stir well. Let it sit on the flame for 5 seconds and turn off the fire. Cool the mixture.
- Smear your hand with ghee. Start making small lemon size balls out of the mixture. Keep adding remaining milk little by little at times when you find difficult to mould shapes .
- Cool and store it in a container. This will be good for 3-4 days without refrigerating.
- A perfect diwali treat for your family and friends.
Method #2:
- Dry Roast 1 cup of rava and coarsely powder it (not fine powder).
- Measure 1 cup of sugar and fine powder. Mix together rava with powdered sugar. Add ghee fried cashew nut and kishmish.
- Melt 1/2 cup of ghee and pour little by little over the rava mix.
- Start moulding shapes and keep adding ghee when you find hard to hold shape. Cool and store the rava ladoos in air tight container.
Note:
- Adding milk will yield soft and tasty ladoo and as we add milk will be good for 3-4 days only.
- If you wish can add few tbsp of dessicated coconut to prepare ladoo.
