rava ladoo recipe | rava laddu recipe | sooji laddu or sooji ladoo with step by step photo and video recipe. laddu recipes are common sweet recipes during festival season and rava laddu is one such sweet recipe. unlike other indian ladoo’s, it requires only a few main ingredients. basically, it is prepared with roasted semolina, coconut, sugar and dry fruits.

there are several easy recipes of rava ladoo, for ex: with khoya, with condensed milk and even with honey. but traditionally it is prepared with just sugar syrup and milk used as the binding agents. some even do not prefer milk, but i use it while shaping the ladoo or if the semolina turns brittle after adding the sugar syrup. in addition, i even sometimes skip coconut and keep sooji laddu simple or add coconut to prepare suji coconut ladoo recipe. but the downside of adding fresh coconut is, it has to be finished immediately. alternatively use desiccated coconut for better shelf life.

furthermore some important tips and suggestions for a perfect and smooth rava ladoo or rava laddu recipe. firstly, use coarse rava to get a nice texture to ladoo and roast with fresh ghee for more flavour. also, make sure to increase/decrease the amount of sugar according to your taste bud. secondly, i have added coconut which should add more flavour and texture to the laddu. hence i would recommend you add it, but you can skip it if you do not like the coconut flavour. lastly, if the mixture turns brittle, add a few tbsp of milk to the mixture to make it moist and start shaping the ladoo. also, moist your hand with ghee before shaping the laddu so that they can stick to each other.
