Coconut Rava Ladoo

I had bookmarked this recipe from ChefInYou. We used to make rava ladoos without coconut.This was a different recipe with coconut and less ghee.Tried this for the marathon and it came out well


Ingredients
Fine suji - 1 cup
Grated coconut: 3/4 cup
Cardomom: 4
Sugar: 1 cup
Ghee: 4 tsp
Milk: 2 tablespoon
Raisins: 1 tablespoon (optional)
Cashews: 1 tablespoon
The above quantity yields 10 medium sized ladoos


Procedure:
Step 1:
Heat 2 tsp of ghee in a pan and roast the rava in low heat until it starts changing the color. A nice aroma comes out at this point of time.(This will take sometime between 7 - 10 min).Stir it constantly to avoid the rava getting burnt
Keep this aside


Note: If using coarse rava, cool down and powder it
Step2:
Now heat 2 tsp of ghee and fry the raisins, cashews and coconut for 3 - 5 min


Step3:
Add sugar and mix well and cook in a low flame for 2 minutes 


Step4:
Add 2 tablespoon of milk, mix well and switch off the stove. Allow the mixture to cool


Step5:
When it is still warm , shape them to ladoos.(Press tightly)
