Notes
- Do not roast semolina/rava on high heat as it will get easily burnt.
- If using fresh coconut, dry roast in a pan and then add.
- You can increase the amount of sugar if you want it sweeter. Here, I have used rava and sugar in 1:3/4 ratio, make it 1:1 to increase sweetness.
- You can add more milk while shaping the ladooss if you feel the ladoos are too dry and they do not hold together.
- You can substitute milk with ghee while forming the ladoo shape. This gives more flavour and aroma but it will be high in calories.
- You can also include raisins and any other nuts of your choice.
