Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Why do I need to roast rava before making ladoo?

Roasting enhances flavor and prevents a raw taste. It also helps in better binding of ladoos

Can I use desiccated coconut instead of fresh coconut?

Yes, but fresh coconut gives a richer taste and texture.

How do I know when the coconut is roasted enough?

It turns golden brown and loses its moisture completely.

Why do I need to fry cashews and raisins separately?

This prevents burning and ensures even roasting.

Can I skip roasting the ingredients?

No, roasting is essential for the best taste and texture.

How do I make sure the rava doesn't burn?

Keep the flame low and stir continuously while roasting

Can I roast the ingredients ahead of time?

Yes, but store them in an airtight container.

How do I prevent ladoos from becoming too dry?

Ensure you add enough milk and don’t over-roast the ingredients.

Absolutely! Almonds and pistachios work great.

Why should I grease my hands before shaping ladoos?

This prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands and helps in smooth shaping.

How long do these ladoos stay fresh?

They stay fresh for 3-4 days at room temperature and up to a week in the fridge

Can I use jaggery instead of sugar?
