Rawa Laddu (Cream of Wheat sweet balls)

 Rawa laddu is a popular sweet made during Diwali. It is a quick and easy to make treat, made with just 3 ingredients. Some people use the cream of wheat as such. Some people powder Rawa and sugar to a fine powder. I like to powder.

Ingredients:

1 Cup rawa (cream of wheat)

1 1/2-2 cups sugar (adjust according to taste)

1/8 cup broken cashew nuts, roasted in ghee

1 teaspoon powdered cardamom

melted ghee, required for binding

                                                           

Method:

1. Roast rawa to a nice golden brown. Remove from pan and allow to cool.

2. Powder cooled rawa and sugar in a blender to a fine powder. 

3. Place powdered mixture in a shallow bowl. Mix roasted cashew nuts and powdered cardamom into this.

4. Add some melted ghee (should be hot enough to touch) to a portion of the mixture in a plate. Scoop in hand immediately and form a tight ball.

                                       

                                                              

5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining mixture. Store in an air tight container.
