Ingredients: Fine Semolina/Rava 1 Cup Sugar 1/2 Cup Grated Coconut 1/2 Cup Ghee 2 tsps Almonds 6 Green Cardamom 2.

Method:
Bruise the green cardamom and remove the black seeds and discard the green skin. Thoroughly grind the black seeds with a pestle and keep aside. Microwave almonds in few tablespoons of water for half a minute. Peel off the skin and thinly slice the blanched almonds. Bring to boil quarter cup of water, add sugar. Let the sugar dissolve and sugar syrup thicken a bit. Don’t cook till the sugar makes a single thread.
Heat a tsp of ghee in a nonstick pan on medium heat, add grated coconut. Fry till the coconut turns golden color and remove onto a plate. Heat another tsp of ghee in the same pan, add rava. Stir frequently and fry rava on medium flame till rava turns light golden color. Then stir in the roasted coconut, cardamom powder, sliced almonds and sugar syrup. Cook for a minute or two till the rava comes together. Remove from heat and let the rava cool down a little. Grease hands with dollop of ghee, take small amounts of rava mixture and form into ladoo.
Store tight coconut rava ladoo in a jar and it stays fresh for couple of weeks.
When ready to serve, microwave the coconut rava ladoo for half a minute or less.
