Method
In a pan heat 1 tablespoon of ghee on medium heat. Once hot add the sooji (semolina) and roast it stirring continuously till you get a nice aroma, this will take around 6-7 minutes. Please remember to keep stirring because sooji once hot can burn very quickly. You don’t want it to stick to the pan. Once roasted, set aside and let it cool down a bit.
In another pan, heat 1 teaspoon of ghee on medium heat. Once hot, fry the cashews and raisins in it till nice golden brown.
In a blender, grind together granulated sugar and cardamom seeds.
Once the sooji has cooled down a bit, grind it using a blender. Transfer to a large bowl, also add the fried nuts.
In a blender, grind together granulated sugar and cardamom seeds.
Mix the grind sugar into the sooji and nuts mixture. You can save some nuts to garnish at the end.
Add 3 tablespoons of warm melted ghee and mix. Also add 1-2 tablespoon of milk.
Take a small amount of mixture in your hand.
Press it with your hands and from a round shape of a size of a golf ball. If you are not able to form a ladoo, add 1 more tablespoon of milk.
Repeat the process till the mixture is over. I was able to get 12 ladoos out of this. Garnish with nuts [optional].
Ladoos stay fresh at room temperature in a airtight container for a week easily.
