Make sure the cashews are not  burnt,When done remove from heat and keep it aside.

5) In the same kadai add ground sooji and fry till you get nice aroma and sooji starts turning its colour.

Can you see the colour of sooji powder has changed a little

Adding sugar powder

7) After adding sugar powder no need to fry for long time as sugar will start turning sticky and also they will form lumps.

8) Add the fried cashews ,raisins and mix well.

9) Now add the warm milk little by little carefully and mix well till the mixture forms a mass that you get a consistency of making balls out it.

Adding milk little by little

Right consistency to make balls

10)   Using your hand make balls out of it and keep it aside,Let the balls rest for 10 mins to get dry and also the taste to blend with each other.

This is the consistency from which you can make balls

11)   That’s it !!! Gobble everything as you wish.

12)           You can store the ravaladoos for 3 days , and refrigerate for 10 days.

NOTES :

1)  While frying sooji powder make sure you stir them continuously to prevent from burning at the bottom.

2)  After adding sugar act fast to give a quick stir and remove from flame.If sugar forms to lumps  no need to panic ,  mix well after adding milk , the lumps will dissolve in warm milk.

3)  While adding milk be careful not to add more milk then your ravaladoo will become ravakesari J.

4)  In case if you added more milk keep the mixture aside for 10 mins so that it will turn little dry as to make balls easily , also after making balls let them sit for 10 more mins so that you can take them and reshape again, this way you can get right consistency.But better add milk little by little to avoid such tedious situation.

5)  We like mild sweetness so I added 3/4 cup sugar , you can increase upto 1 cup sugar for 1 cup sooji according to your taste.

HAPPY COOKING!!
