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 ladooโs, it requires only 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 binding agent. 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 sometime skip coconut and keep sooji laddu simple or add coconut to prepare suji coconut ladoo recipe. but 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 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. lastly, if the mixture turns brittle, add few tbsp of milk and make ladoo.

is it ok that in laddoo, the rawa doesn’t get soft as in halwa or upma ?
you need to roast rava well.
