Rava Laddu or Suji ka Laddu is a sweet Indian dessert made using semolina.  Simple and easy to make.  Cook in low flame with a little patience to get the perfect laddu. you can adjust the sugar according to your taste buds. This is my sister's recipe, i made this for the first time and it came out really good and tasted so delicious also.

Sugar- ¾ cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp .

Grated coconut- 1/2 cup
Cashews, raisins 
Cardamom powder- 1 tsp

Heat little ghee in a  pan, reduce the flame and roast the cashew nuts and raisins
Add grated coconut and fry them along with the dry fruits for 2 mins.
Add rava (semolina) to the above mixture and stir continuously for 10 min, or till the rava releases a nice aroma
Add sugar and cardamom powder and mix well.
Add milk and switch off the flame.  mix the milk by stirring continuously.
