Rava laddu recipe | rava ladoo- Easy to make Diwali sweet recipe made with semolina, sugar, and ghee.
Rava ladoo is a popular Indian sweet, made for diwali, varalakshmi nombu, Janmashtami and other festivals too. It is a sweet made using sooji | semolina. I remember my grandmother making in bulk during festival season. Also, have seen in some houses they add milk for making sooji ladoo. But that reduces the shelf life of the rava ladoo.
This ladoo is made by grinding the roasted rava and mixing it with powdered sugar, finally, hot ghee is added to it and made into ladoos. Some people grind the rava coarsely to get a grainy texture. But personally, I love the smooth texture of the ladoos, so I always grind this smoothly.

Hey, I would like to know whether caster sugar can be used?
I think you can add.
Hi as my inlaws are allergic to ghee so shall I replace it with sunflower oil. As I don't want to add milk also.
No oil can not be replaced.
Did you use fine rava or medium rava which we use for upma ?
I used upma rava
