Suji Ladoo, Mathi, Namakpara & Sev - Diwali Special

Few of the bloggers keep asking me Diwali details and things which we have made for Diwali & kept waiting for the post. So here is all the goodies we made for Diwali, we scrap the idea of making gujjia, murukku and few more sweets due to time limitation. Here presenting Sujji/Rava Ladoo, Mathi, Namakpara and Sev.


Sujji/Rava Ladoo: There are many ways of making sujji/rava ladoo but I always follow this method which I find is easy and gud for me.

We need:
Sujji/Rava/Semolina - 2 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup (change according to taste)
Cardamom - 4-5
Cashews & Raisins - few
Dessicated Coconut - 1/2 cup
Ghee/Classified butter - 2-3 tps
Water - 1/2 cup

Method:

1. Make powder of sugar and cardamom and keep aside.
2. Heat ghee in a pan, fry cashews keep them aside.
3. In the same pan add the rava and fry until the colour turns light brown or the aroma start filling the air.
4. Let the rava cool down a bit, make 1/2 portion of the roasted rava in to powder in mixi and mix with the remaining roasted rava.
5. Add sugar powder and few cashews and raisins to rava and well mix.
6. Take small amount of the mixture, sprinkle little water & 1/2 tbs coconut and give them shape of ladoo, roll then over coconut and keep aside. Follow the procedure for the remaining mixture. (always sprinkle water in batches, if not the texture will not be good)

Simple and yummy Ladoo is ready.
