Rava Coconut Ladoo

🇮🇳 Indian

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.

Prep 23 min Cook 35 min Serves 5 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Semolina (Rava)1 cup
  • Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    Combine the semolina (rava) with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Stir in the ghee with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.

  5. 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.
