Diwali is the best time to enjoy all those few-times-a-year sweets and snacks and this year has been the year of quick and easy sweets recipes for me. Just because you are busy or working or traveling doesn't meant you can't make any sweets at home for the festive season - we just need to get a bit creative about it and not be too finicky that the sweets be 'traditional' and 'authentic'. If you can make a great-tasting sweet or two under 20 mins for Diwali, why not right?
The two biggest time-savers, in my experience, have been:
(a) Condensed milk - needless to say, condensed milk works really well as a base for Indian sweets. Since a lot of our sweets start with thickening milk, this really speeds up the job. The only downside is that it's often hard to regulate the amount of sugar. I made 10-min palkova last week and it was really too sweet, even for me. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but I had to add a handful of chopped nuts to cut the sweetness levels. This is just a minor inconvenience compared to the lusciousness condensed milk can bring to Indian sweets though.
(b) Readymade powdered cardamom - this may not be so obvious, but we use cardamom to flavour almost all our sweets and powdering it takes more time than we realise. Buying powdered cardamom is more expensive but the amount of time it saves, especially when you are making lots of sweets (or more than one!), it's definitely worth it. Also, the texture is more uniform than when we pound one or two cardamom pods in a pestle and mortar. I don't like biting into cardamom bits so this is perfect for people like me. Buy the smallest packet you can find and you will be amazed at the convenience it offers.
On that note, here's a list of 12 Diwali Sweets you can make in under 20 Minutes. The list is work in progress so please bear with me. It will be fully updated by next Friday. Enjoy!
1. 10-min Rasmalai (using readymade rasgulla)
2. 15-min Date and Nut Ladoo
3. 10-Min Sandesh (needs fresh chenna)
4. 20-Min Chocolate Burfi (using condensed milk)
5. 20-Min Rava Laddu
6. 20-Min Kaju Katli

Festival is incomplete with out sweets especially for Diwali we would like to indulge in more sweet varities. I have compiled a list of all sweets of various categories ranging from kheer to traditional sweets to all the other ones which are specially prepared to distribute among friends and families. Check out the various sweet treats and do prepare them and enjoy with your friends and family and have a fun Diwali.
Rava laddu or Rava ladoo is a simple and exoctic sweet made with Semolina or sooji. Though i attempted this for the first time, i have tasted this many times. But i always like the texture to be smooth and not the grainy rava texture. I just followed my Besan ladoo recipe replacing rava instead of besan. Try this easy and yummy Rava ladoo for this Diwali.
INGREDIENTS: Makes 13- 14 ladoos
RAVA | SOOJI | SEMOLINA 1 CUP
SUGAR 3/4 CUP
MELTED GHEE 1/4 CUP
CASHEW NUTS FEW
CARDAMOM POWDER A PINCH(OPTIONAL)
METHOD:
In a pan add 1 tsp of ghee and roast the cashew bits and keep it aside.
In a same pan roast the rava till it for 5 to 10 minutes in a medium flame. Do not get it burnt or the change the color.
Allow this to completely cool.
Grind this into a fine powder along with sugar.
Add cardamom powder(if adding) at this stage and pulse once for even mixing.
Transfer this mixture to a wide bowl.
Add the roasted cashew also to this and mix well.
Melt the ghee and add this to the rava sugar mixture.
Mix well with a spoon and make it into round balls.
The mixture will be easy to handle only. If you feel that you can’t make balls, just sprinkle 1 tblsp of milk .
This can be stored in a air tight box for 4-5 days in room temperature.
