Raghavdas Ladoo is a soft, sinful ladoo from Maharashtra, made with Semolina and coconut. This is a melt in the mouth ladoo with a soft texture to it, made with sugar syrup.
While Rava Ladoo that we make is prepared with just the same ingredients, how Meera's recipe ladoo is cooked is much different and that surely makes this a new version. In this version, the sugar is cooked to a first stage 1 thread consistency, milk added, and then the roasted rava and coconut added to the mix.
We simply loved how soft and delicious this tasted! I am doing a theme that was interesting when I thought about, All Round forms are Ladoo? I was supposed to pick up different dishes that could be savory as well but shaped as round forms. I typically thought about Ram Ladoo and maybe some Koftas as well. However, I ended up making all the sweet dishes.

Raghavdas ladoo looks so good Valli. Of course these are similar to rava ladoo where we use coconut too. Just a difference is in preparation. Good one.

usha says
When I signed up for this theme, laddus were not on my radar but just like you, even I might end up doing laddos 🙂 Yes, as Vaishali said, the name is catchy and laddu look great.
Renu says

Raghavdas ladoo looks so delicious and interesting. he he valli I too thought of making savories like cheese corn balls or arancini but ended up making all sweet .. Don't know why my hands itch to make sweets but I don't have a sweet tooth trust me. ladoos have come out so well , recipe sounds like north Indian sheera .. The name is truly catchy ..
Harini says
Btw, Who is this Raghavdas? 🙂 Loved the unique procedure to make my fav laddus.
Gayathri Kumar says
I have seen this type of preparation at SIL's place. And yeah, those ladoos have an unique taste. But never heard of the name.
Jyoti Babel says
I had read about these laddos in a cookbook today and what a co-incidence to read about it on your blog too. They look lovely and inviting.
srividhya says
Interesting to read about the cooking technique. Very nice and wondering why they name raghavdas ladoo...
code2cook says
making laddus with either sugar syrup or jaggery syrup is way difficult. It is very important to reach the desired consistency. I liked these laddus surely different the other version of making rava laddu. Looking moist and soft with the cliks.
Priya Suresh says
When i picked this theme, even i was very much strong enough to dish out some savory dishes, however i ended up with a sweet as well. Raghavdas laddoos looks absolutely fabulous and irresistible.
cookingwithsapana says
I always feel the laddo made with powdered sugar are more easier than the syrup based ones. These rava and coconut ladoo look very tempting.
Priya Srinivasan says
love that name valli, raghavdas. how simple rava ladoo has so many cooking technics!!! Looks delicious!!
Pavani says
Typically rawa ladoo tend to be a little dry and crumbly. This version sounds to be much softer in texture. I'm going to give these ladoo a try some time.
chefmireille says
looks soft and moist - would love to dig into this ladoo especially as I love anything with coconut
Sowmya:) says
I have never heard the name though it seems quite similar to our rava laddu. I am not too good at making laddoos....yours have turned out perfectly round and just right to pop one fully in my mouth! Yum
