Raghavdas Ladoo (Rawa Ladoo)

Every year, Ajinkya Family welcomes Lord Ganesha with offerings of Ukdiche modak and Raghvdas ladoo. Our family makes around 4 to 5 kg of ladoo to distribute among the deities of Ganesha.
The Raghvdas Ladoos ladden with sugar syrup are wet rawa or semolina balls that melt in your mouth.




Ingredients:

  • Rawa/ Semolina- 1 kg

  • Sugar- 800 gm
  • Ghee- 400-500 gm
  • Elaichi powder
  • Raisins
Procedure:


  • Make a 2 types of Sugar Syrups:
  1. Thick Sugar Syrup: In 400 gm sugar pour sufficient water until it just immerses the sugar.
  2. Diluted Sugar Syrup: In 400 gm sugar pour equal quantity of water.



  • Boil both the syrup so that the thick sugar sugar comes to the stringy stage. (Remember to remove the impurities from the surface of the syrups)


  • Roast rawa/semolina in a microwave or in a hard bottomed utensil until it tuns yellowish in colour. Well roasted rawa gives a distinct aroma.

  • Once the semolina is roasted pour ghee and stir the mixture gently. Now microwave or roast the mixture for few minutes.

  • In this mixture pour both of the sugar syrups and mix well.



  • Add Elaichi powder for flavor and raisins for garnish. 


  • Make ladoo i.e balls of the entire mixture. Let it cool to form lovely Raghavdas Ladoo.

Please note: This recipe is only for 1 kg of Ladoos.
