Rawa Laddoo

Come Diwali and my ever enthusiastic soul goes to the next level :-) The aroma of Diwali special snacks engulfs the house.Chakali, Karanji , Shankarpali , Chivda and Besan laddoo is something i make every year on Diwali. This year the Diwali Special cooking has started with a special demand from hubby -Rawa Laddoos. I had never made these but was super excited to make these as my 'not so demanding' hubby wanted these LOL..
Though it was an experiment, i must confess that it was a successful one. Also, it consumes less time to make rawa laddoo as compared to Besan laddoos.
Here comes the recipe:

Ingredients:

250 gms fine Semolina (Barik Rawa /Sooji)
250 gms Powdered Sugar
1 medium Katori Ghee
1 small katori chopped Dry Fruits (Cashews, Raisins, Almonds)
2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder

Preparation Time: 15-20 mins

Makes: 25-28 medium size laddoos

Method:

Heat a pan and roast the rawa on medium flame till it becomes golden brown and a nice aroma comes. Make sure you stir it continuously.
Let it cool down. (If you are using the coarse variety of rawa, then you need to grind the roasted semolina to a fine powder).
Mix roasted rawa, powder sugar and cardamom powder in a mixing bowl.
Fry the chopped dry fruits in little ghee and add to the rawa and sugar mixture.
Slightly heat the ghee and add to the rawa mixture. Mix well.
Make medium balls immediately .
If the mixture is too dry , you can sprinkle some milk but then this reduces the shelf life of the laddoos.
If you don't want to use milk, you can use lukewarm water ,mix well and then make the laddoos.
