Condensed Milk Rava Coconut Ladoo

Rava Ladoo
Rava Naralache Ladoo are sweet balls made of semolina and coconut. Though coconut is added, these are also known as Rava Ladu. Generally, these ladoos are made in a sugar syrup. But I have used sweetened condensed milk instead, which I find easier as compared to sugar syrup. The only drawback is that condensed milk ladoos need to be refrigerated.

Ingredients:
Semolina/Rava/Sooji - 1 cup
Desiccated (Dry) Coconut - 1 cup + 1/2 cup
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 400 gms (14 oz)
Walnuts/Akrot and Pistachios - 1/4 cup
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 2 pods (seeds only)
Saffron/Kesar - few strands

How to make Condensed Milk Rava Naralache Ladu:
  • Heat a heavy bottom pan and add semolina. Once the pan heats up well, lower the heat. Roast the semolina at low flame until it turns aromatic and turns slightly golden brown. Turn off the heat and add 1 cup desiccated coconut. Mix well. 
  • Crush the cardamom seeds to a fine powder in a mortar pestle.
  • Roast the walnuts and pistachios at low flame till they turn crisp. After cooling, grind the nuts to a coarse powder. You can use any of your favorite nuts.
  • In a mixing bowl, add roasted semolina and coconut. Now add cardamom powder, saffron, powdered nuts and sweetened condensed milk. Mix all the ingredients well. Let it rest for 5 - 10 minutes so that semolina absorbs the milk.
  • Divide the Rava Laddu mix roughly into 15 parts or more depending on the size of the ladoos you desire. Roll each one to form a round ball.  Add 1/2 cup desiccated coconut in a plate. Roll the laddoos in dessicated coconut and coat each one well. You can place raisins/dry grapes/manuka or cashews in the center of each ladoo as well. Store the leftover Rava Coconut Ladoo in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
