Semolina ladoos are a popular sweet treat in India, known for their soft texture and sweet taste. They are often served during festivals or celebrations and are loved by people of all ages. Semolina is made from durum wheat and is high in protein and fiber, making it a nutritious ingredient. The addition of ghee, cashews, and desiccated coconut adds healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to the dish, making it a healthier dessert option. The sweet taste of this dish is balanced by the vibrant aroma of cardamom powder, making it a perfect after-dinner treat.

Instructions

1.	Dry roast the semolina over medium heat until it is fragrant and lightly browned.
2.	Sauté the cashews in a tablespoon of ghee until they are golden-brown and set aside.
3.	In a large heavy-bottomed pan, heat the remaining ghee over medium heat.
4.	Add the roasted semolina and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.
5.	Add the sugar and mix well until combined. Let the mixture cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently.
6.	Add the sautéed cashews, cardamom powder, and desiccated coconut. Mix well.
7.	Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool until it is easy to handle.
8.	Once the mixture has cooled, grease your palms with ghee and shape the mixture into small ladoos.
