Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Microwave Rava Ladoo

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom powder to the semolina mixture.
Adjust the cooking time in the microwave as needed, depending on your microwave's power. Always keep a close eye to prevent burning.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency for rolling into balls.
For a richer flavor, use homemade ghee instead of store-bought.
