rava laddu recipe, how to make rava laddu recipe | easy rava ladoo recipe

rava laddu recipe with step by step photos – easy, quick and tasty recipe of rava laddu made with rava (cream of wheat), khoya (evaporated milk solids) and desiccated coconut. the recipe is so quick, that it just took me about 20 minutes to cook the rava ladoo mixture.

the rava ladoo recipe is very easy and does not go into the consistency of sugar syrup. i had made rava ladoo before using the one string consistency and the ladoo would either break or harden. but this rava laddu recipe is not only easy but fool proof also. even a beginner can make these ladoo easily.

this rava laddu recipe gives a softer texture in the ladoo. i did add less ghee, but you can increase the amount of ghee. you will need khoya/mawa and desiccated coconut to make these ladoos. the coconut can be skipped, if you prefer. however the addition of desiccated coconut adds good taste and flavor to the ladoo.

in absence of khoya, you can use condensed milk. if using sweetened condensed milk, then no need to add sugar. i have shared tips on notes section in recipe card on how to make rava ladoo using condensed milk. this rava laddu recipe can be doubled too.

• ¼ cup desiccated coconut
• 11 to 12 tablespoon milk
• 1 to 2 tablespoon ghee (i added 1 tablespoon ghee - but for a smooth looking ladoo, you can add 2 to 2.5 tablespoon ghee)
• ½ cup sugar or add as per taste
• 10 to 12 cashews, chopped (kaju)

recipe notes

how to substitute khoya in this rava laddu recipe:

• instead of khoya you can add condensed milk. add condensed milk at the same stage when khoya is added.
• but with condensed milk, you will have to cook more so that the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
• don’t add sugar if adding sweetened condensed milk as there is already enough sugar in it.
