Tastes from childhood are often the most loved, and this delicious sweet treat, Rave Laadoo is one of them for me! Watching and helping my Mum as a kid is one of my favourite memories, so ofcourse it's one I love making now.
There are many versions of it, but I make the version without coconut - the crispness of semolina is more enjoyable without coconut in my view. However adding coconut still makes it a delicious treat.
Here it is, my version of RAVE LAADOO:
Ingredients (for about 12): 1 cup fine Semolina, 1/3 cup fresh ghee, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp cardamon powder, raisins & crushed nuts of your choice.
Make:
1. In a thick bottom pan (non stick is better), roast the semolina and ghee on medium flame. Stir continuously to ensure it doesn't burn, after about 10 minutes it should look well roasted and have a lovely aroma. Let it cool to room temperature.
2. Powder the sugar or use ready powdered sugar, mix in the cardamon powder, in a separate bowl.
3. Add in the warm roasted semolina and mix with powdered sugar.
4. In the thick bottom pan, add another spoon ghee and fry the crushed nuts & raisins until golden brown. Add this hot mixture into the semolina.
5. Mix well with a spoon as ghee will be very hot, then use hands to shape into small balls. It should come together nicely. If too dry, add a spoon of warm milk, if too soft, put the whole mixture in the fridge for 5 mins then try to shape into balls.
Let the Laadoos cool completely and serve or store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
