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.
