Rava Coconut Ladoo
Rava ladoo, quick-fried semolina sweets for unexpected guests. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.
Ingredients
- Salta pinch
- Ghee3 tbsp
- Sugar1 tsp
- Grated Coconut1 cup
- Semolina (Rava)1 cup
- Green Cardamom4, ground
Instructions
- 1
Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.
- 2
Combine the semolina (rava) with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- 3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.
- 4
Stir in the ghee with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.
- 5
Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.
Chef's tip
Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
