Coconut rava ladoo

This seems to have become my Deepavali staple!!! I saw this recipe somewhere about 4 years ago..can't remember where though. But extremely easy to make and a great one for semolina lovers! Here is how I made it :

Ingredients:

Semolina ("Rava") - 1 cup

Coconut - 1 cup + 1/2 cup extra coconut

Powdered Sugar - 1.25 cup

Warm Milk - 3/4th cup

Broken cashewnuts - a handful

Raisins- a handful

Cardamom- 4-5 pods, powdered

Cloves- 4-5, powdered

Ghee

How to make:

• In a shallow frying pan, roast semolina lightly in 1 tbsp ghee. Take care to not over-roast. Turn off the stove when you start seeing the semolina turn golden brown.
• Add 1 cup coconut and mix in well with the semolina.
• Add 1.25 cup powdered sugar. Mix in well.
• Transfer contents to a different dish/vessel.
• In the same pan, lightly roast broken cashewnuts and raisins in 1 tsp ghee. Add them to the dry contents.
• Add powdered cardamom and powdered cloves. Mix in well.
• Add warmed milk and use hands to nicely moisten the dry contents. The dry contents should be moistened such that you are able to roll them into balls using your palms. If not, add more of warmed milk.
• Now, roll them into lemon-sized balls.
• Spread 1/2 cup of coconut in a plate. Roll the rolled balls on the coconut to cover the outside of the balls with coconut.

Notes :

• You can reduce the quantity of sugar to 1 cup depending on your sweetness quotient. Scale up or scale down the recipe. Coconut : Semolina : Sugar is 1 : 1 : 1.25 or 1 : 1: 1.
