Rava laddu

Ingredients:
Rava – ½ kg
Sugar – ½ kg
Ghee – 1 cup
Cashews – 50 gm
Elaichi – 5 or 6
(Sugar and ghee quantities can be varied as per taste)

Method:
Dry roast rava in a pan till light brown. Set aside to cool. Grind the cooled rava to a smooth powder. Powder sugar separately and mix with powdered rava. Heat ghee in a kadai, fry the cashews (cut into tiny pieces) and keep aside. Pour heated ghee along with fried cashews and powdered elaichi to the sugar-rava mixture. While the mixture is still hot, make laddus. If required, add more heated ghee so that it can be molded easily into a laddu. Alternatively heat the mixture in low flame on gas stove for few minutes and make the laddus.
