How to make best tasting Rava Laddu ?

1. Roasting the Rava (Sooji) : Roast the rava in a medium – low flame. Keep stirring it once the rava is hot. If not the rava will stick into the bottom of the pan and result in getting brown/ burnt.  As soon as you smell a nice aroma   and see light steam from the rava we can switch off the fame.
2. Texture of the Rava : I would recommend to make coarse rava to get crunchy laddu. While grinding in the mixture make sure that you grind it till you get a coarse mixture (not a smooth powder)
3. Do it in batches : I would recommend to prepare laddu in batches. Take a portion of the rava/sugar mixture, add ghee and make the balls.  You may want to keep the ghee in warm mode so that ghee will get mixed with the mixture easily and gives you mighty laddus.  Adjust the Rava and Ghee portions to get the round shaped laddu
4. Make some variations : You can optionally add dry coconut and dry fruits to get different flavor.
