Besan Rava Laddu

Ingredients:

Rava - 1cup
Besan - 1cup
Sugar - 2cups
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Kaju - handful
Elaichi powder - 1tsp

Method:

1) fry rava in 1/4 cup ghee for atleast 15-20 min on low heat and keep it aside.
2) fry besan in 1/4cup ghee for 15-20 min on low heat and keep it aside.
3) fry kaju in 2tbsp ghee and keep them aside.
4) in a seperate dish, make sugar syrup ( Theega pakam - Keep cooking the sugar mixture on stove on medium heat....until u see theega pakam. Theega pakam can be seen if u put the sugar mixture in a plate of water, it should form LUMP. so it means desired consistency is reached. )
5) now remove the pakam from stove and add rava, besan, elaichi powder and kaju.
6) let it cool for 10 min.
7) make laddus by frequently dipping your hand in cold water ( this will keep your hands from burning ).

The only thing you have to remember is always fry the besan and rava well so that the 'kacha' taste of these will be gone.

Store them in a container and they will last for 3 weeks.

Chao for now
