I tried Rava Ladoo with Jaggery because I was craving a jaggery-based sweet these days. It turned out beautifully. Actually, for the past few years, I’ve been getting pre-mixed rava laddoo flour from my mother, and all I’ve had to do is combine it with ghee. My mother’s is made entirely of white sugar. Corona has completely depleted my mother’s supply of powder/flour. So I’ve been doing all of that by myself.
I haven’t made any Indian sweets in a long time. Rava laddoo is a favourite of my husband’s. I wasn’t sure if he’d like this Jaggery version, but he did. This version also uses less ghee because jaggery acts as a binding agent. Try this healthy version during the holiday season. I wanted little coarse ladoos, so I ground it with jaggery. If you want smooth ladoos, first grind the rava and coconut before adding the jaggery and cardamom.
Rava / Semolina – 1/2 cup Jaggery – 1/2 cup ( if you want the less sweet version you use 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon) Broken cashew – 1 tablespoon Ghee – 1 tablespoon Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon grated coconut – 2 tablespoon
