My MIL is an expert in making Rava ladoo without using milk and coconut (Semolina ladoo in English). Generally South Indians make rava laddu for special occasions at home. People make this sooji ladoo just by using roasted rava. But my MIL makes it different from the usual method. Just because of this variation my husband loves this ladoo a lot. IтАЩve tried this rava laddu for many occasions. Its a fool proof recipe. It never went wrong. Try this and let me know friends ЁЯЩВ I am bad in shaping the ladoos. So please bear with the irregular shapes;) Ok, lets see how to prepare rava laddu with step by step pictures.

  1. Rava ladoo is very beautiful Chitra. I like that purple color plate too:) Who says they are out of shape, looks great! Like the way your Mother-in-law grinds the rava (My chithi / aunt also do the same way and they are better than many other methods).

  2. Tried it and recipe came out really tasty and well, as i'm beginer I couldnt get the proper round form but apart from that taste was awesome. Big hit in my home. Thankq!!

    1. Hi Vidhya, If the rava is not roasted properly, grinding may be difficult. Just roast it for a minute and try to grind. Grind continuously for few minutes. It should powder well. Just sieve it and again grind as shown in the method.
