Peel off the cardamoms and powder them finely using mortar and pestle.

In a heavy bottom cooking pan add half the amount of ghee and rava. Saute and roast the rava for about 4 minutes till the rava absorbs all ghee and turns little brown. Switch off the flame.

Next take sugar in a mixer and grind it to fine powder. I got one and a quarter cups of powdered sugar which was sufficient for the laddu. If you are using sugar powder directly then you can use 1 and 1/4 cup of it. Also roast broken cashews in little ghee and set aside.

Take a wide bowl and mix in roasted rava, sugar powder, roasted cashews, raisins, cardamom powder and remaining ghee. Give a quick stir so that sugar powder is combined evenly with rava. Next add milk little by little so that the laddu mix comes together and you can shape it like a ball. Take a handful of it and shape in round laddu form.

Easy and quick Diwali sweet rava laddu is ready to relish.

Be careful while roasting rava and do not leave unattended which may change color of rava and we don't require discoloration.

If you are using sugar powder then use one and quarter cup instead of one.

Milk needs to be added in intervals and you need to keep checking when you can easily shape it in to balls. If you add entire milk at once the laddu mix may turn gooey more than needed.

My laddu mix required 1/4 cup of milk to shape in round form.
