A vegan, sugar free healthy rava ladoo, that is a perfect treat for your kids and your family
- 1/2 cup Dates (about 10 dates)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Milk (I used full fat canned coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup Powdered roasted rava
- 1/4 cup Blended Date paste
- 1/4 tsp Elaichi powder
- Finely diced apples
- Sliced almonds
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Roast 1 cup rava in the oven till you get a reddish tinge and the rava is well toasted. It took 35-40 minutes in my oven to achieve that toastiness.
Alternatively, pan roast rava in a medium flame for 8-10 minutes, constantly stirring until well roasted.
-
Once it cools, powder the roasted rava in a dry blender and keep it aside.
-
In a high powered blender, blend 1/2 cup dates (about 10 dates) and 1/4 cup coconut milk to get a creamy paste
-
In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup date paste, elaichi powder, 1/2 cup roasted rava powder and knead together. This will yield 8 balls.
-
Add healthy mix-ins like sliced nuts and chopped fruits and make the balls
Dry roasting in the oven takes longer, but you don't need to babysit as much as pan-roasting. Which technique you use is entirely up to you and your time availability.
