Tips for Roasting Rava : you don’t need to be a master chef. You can easily roast rava very well, even if you are roasting it for the first time. A few pointers below to help you understand the intricacies of roasting rava.
- Firstly use a nice heavy pan or kadai. You don’t want your rava getting burnt and having uneven speckled laddu with creamish, brown and black specks.
- Secondly, keep the heat to a low or medium-low. Heat the pan. Melt some ghee. Add the rava and stir and stir and stir.
- You have to stir initially a few times but later non-stop when the rava becomes hot. As if you don’t stir, the rava granules which are in direct contact with the pan, will start getting browned and burnt.
- The foremost sign that the rava has roasted will be its aroma. Yes you can feel the aroma in your kitchen. It is a pleasant aroma.

- Later keep the pan on your kitchen slab. The heat from the pan will further cook the rava a bit. Stir once or twice after you keep the pan, so that the heat of the pan does not brown the rava.
