RAVA LADOO

March 10, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Rava ladoo is one of the easiest and tastiest of the ladoo recipes that i know.It takes hardly 10 minutes to make this,,could you believe that?And it is filling to eat as well.I made this long back and it was due for long to post and here it comes.Mostly people think it is hard to make any kind of ladoo and for beginners this might sound pretty tricky but when you use the correct proportion of ingredients and mix well ladoo making will turn in to child’s play.So next time when preparing ladoos keep these points in mind and go…
