Beet Rawa Ladoo

Rava (Semolina or Suji) Ladoo – Indian Sweet Rava laddoo is a traditional Indian sweet dish made out of rava, milk, sugar and cashews shaped as balls, one of the most popular south Indian sweet.Beetroot can be eaten as raw or in salad with a dressing of mustard oil or vinegar. Beetroot is used to cure anemia due to its richness in Vitamins A, C, iron and Calcium. I have add beetroot for variation of ladoo. The colour of the beetroot not only makes you feel more festive, the flavour of the beetroot definitely adds up taste.

Ingredients:

Semolina- 150 g
Sugar- 50 g
Honey- 3 tbsp
Fresh Grated coconut- 1 tbsp
Beetroot- 1 small sized ( very finely grated)
Ghee- 3 tbsp
Milk- 25 ml( warm)
Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
Cashew nuts- 15 whole nuts

Method:

Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a nonstick pan, add the cashew nuts and fry for few minutes until they brown. Take it out and keep it aside. Then add the grated coconuts and fry until they become brown. Take it out and keep it aside. Then add 1/2 tbsp of ghee and add the finely grated beetroot and fry till all the water evaporates from the beetroot. Take it out and set it aside.

Finally add 1 tbsp of ghee, add the semolina and roast till it releases a nice aroma. Take it out and mix all the ingredients in a bowl, add the sugar, honey , cardamom powder along with it and mix well.

Now add the warm milk little by little and gather with your hands, if you are able to make balls, stop adding milk. Then start making small balls, place in a serving plate and press a cashew nut on top.

Wishing you all of my blogger friends a
beautiful, Prosperous and Blessed
Happy New Year and Happy blogging!
Love,
