Rava Laddu

Rava laddu are one of the festive Indian desserts.This is one of my childhood favourites.When i was a kid my grandma used to make these for Diwali and me and my brother used to gobble them up when it is still warm.They were so good. My grandma used to make it with ghee but i used milk to make it healthier.Also this is a less sweet version.
