			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ingredients </strong>:<br />
Semolina/Rava &#8211; 1 cup<br />
Sugar &#8211; 3/4 cup<br />
Ghee &#8211; 2 tbsp<br />
Cashews &#8211; few<br />
Raisins &#8211; few<br />
Water &#8211; 2 cup<br />
cardamom powder &#8211; 1 tbsp (optional)</p>
<p>Heat ghee in a pan.Add Cashews,raisins and fry them till it turns out to golden brown in color.<br />
<a href="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0301.JPG"><br />
<img class=" " style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0301.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Add rava to the same pan and fry on a medium flame till the nice aroma comes.Remember you should not over fry it.If you over fry it then it would be difficult to make balls at the end.[Tip:accidently if you over fry it use it for making upma don't try making laddus]</p>
<p><a href="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0303.JPG"><br />
<img class=" " style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0303.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Grind the rava and sugar in a mixer so that it becomes smooth powder.Give 2 rounds maximum.<br />
Add water and sugar to the pan.Let it boil for 10 minutes.This mixture should be boiled till it becomes a paaka or slightly thicker sugar syrup.When you take the syrup in a spoon it should drag..it should form a string.So now its ready to mix with the rava.You can add cardamom powder to this (for extra aroma).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0305.JPG"><br />
<img class=" " style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.logukrishnan.net/blogpics/ash/IMG_0305.JPG" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Mix rava and sugar syrup and make small ball by using hands.No need to use milk/ghee as sugar syrup combines with rava easily and binds it.<br />
