hi shilpa
im a konkani from kerala…i used to do these laddoos as sweets at any functions which my mom taught me once…we do not use water at all…but i roast the rava well till the the raw taste goes …switch off the gas nd add powdered sugar,flavouring agent to this followed by req amount of boiled milk(condensed milk) …after well mixing ,roll into balls applying ghee on palm..after sometime it becomes dry nd get shaped dry delicious laddoos…though shelf life is short as we use milk here,surely it can be kept at least for 1 week..

Hi shilpa,

i tried this ladoo but then it didnt come out well. i added all the ingredients correctly even then it didnt come out well. it was watery so i heated for sometime as u said. then it became very hard. then mom asked me to add some water n heat it. finally i made it but the ladoo was not like rava ladoo. it tasted like seera.

Hi shilpa,
i followed ur recipe for this diwali ,i even added less amount of water(1/2 cup) but still the the final mixture was watery and i couldnt make balls out of it.i heated the mixture,then added 4 spoons of roasted rava,then some sugar,finally i could make somewhat ok laddos,it took me around 3hrs making this simple dish.i was very disappointed as this wasnt a hard dish to go wrong,i should hav followed the normal easy version posted in other sites which doesnt require heating the mixture in water.

Shilpa, Yes it became too watery. After I closed the lid and let it sit for 20 minutes and it was still watery, I did heat it for 20 more minutes. I was worried it would get burnt as the rawa was turning dark brown in colour. I formed the ladoos into rounds as best as I could and kept them in the refrigerator. The taste is simply AWESOME!!!! even though the ladoos didnt form too firmly. Next time I make these, I think I should reduce the quantity of water.

I shall try more of your recipes as required and surely inform you about it. Thanks so much for having such a lovely website. You not only share your recipes but we get to interact with you and read all the comments from others

THANKS AGAIN! Pallavi

You could have heated the mixture for a while (from your comment, I think it became too watery for you) I had already mentioned this in the post. There is nothing wrong with proportions. I have tried it many times. So many people have got it right

Hi Shilpa,
Since I cant wait till you reply as its almost midnight here and Ganpati pooja starts at 8 am tomorrow.
I just formed the rawa into ladoos as best as I could and kept them in the refrigerator so that they can harden better by tomorrow. I really think your measurement of 3/4 cup water is incorrect. I made double the quantity so I used double of each ingredient.
Thanks for your recipe anyways,
Regards. Pallavi

Shilpa,
I made these laddoos today and followed your instructions exactly as given.
I roasted the rawa till it was pinkish red, infact slightly brown but I am still unable to form the laddoos into rounds. They keep collapsing. Now what do I do? I need to have them ready for Naivedya to Ganpati tomorrow before our Pooja. Please advise. Should I roast more rawa and add into this? Or probably roast some coconut and add to it.
Thanks in advance, Pallavi

I’m sorry I missed it. I just scrolled up and read that you mentioned 2 teaspoons ghee.
I think its too less. Wont the ladoos become very dry?
When I make besan ladoos the proportion I use is 1/3rd cup ghee and 1 cup of besan.
I know Rawa ladoo recipe is different but would the proportion be so much different?
Please reply soon if possible.

Shilpa: We just add 2 tea spns. If you want, you can increase it.
