    Once the raisins balloon up, remove. Then roast the grated coconut.
    Remove once done. Keep all these aside. Add the remaining ghee and roast the Rava till its well roasted and aroma starts coming out.Then add the sugar. Mix well for 3-4min .
    In a bowl, take all the roasted Rava, Nuts, Coconut and add the Cardamom powder.
    Then slowly add the warm milk into the bowl. Check if you are able to gather as balls.

    NOTE:

    While roasting the Rava, make sure you have the flames in sim, else there is a chance of the rava getting over roasted.
    Its enough to add only the required amount of milk to get you form balls. Depending on the rava and the sugar at times we may not use all the 1/2milk.
    Since we add milk and coconut, its best to consume within 5 days of making them. If you store them in fridge, you can have them for a week or 10days.
