Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions and variants to the mock motichoor ladoo recipe. Firstly, take a not this not normal semolina or rava. This is basically large-grained rava or bansi rava which is popularly known as daliya. Hence do not attempt this with Bombay rava as it may turn rava ladoo.
