Kala BN:

 Sorry  to hear that you did not get the right consistency the first time. Do try it again when you have the time and inclination. I am sure you will get it right Kala.

Kalyanee, I have posted a recipe specially for you:
A simple Rava Laddoo Recipe for Kalyanee

Kalyanee: You are right Kalyanee the more the number of threads, the harder the sweet.
This one is a simple recipe. Probably you are taking a lot of water in the pan when making the syrup.
I am glad your rava laddoos came out well.

Do try the recipe Melody. It is simple, and the end product is delicious, I can guarantee that!
Not only are most of the chocoltes made with eggs in your country, so also the ice creams. I sat in Ghirardelli in SD watching others lick their ice creams because they did not have any eggless variety that I could try. In SF Ghirardelli, however, my sister got me delicious eggless ice creams.

Soumya,
i still have to try dis recipe :(
but dis 'one-thread' thing - i made rava ladoos recently and the sugar we get in the U.S seems to have some kind of problem :( it takes forever to get dat one-thread consistency! The more thready it gets, the more hard the sweet/choc will be right? Anyhow, the ladoos came out well I want to make some choc now, but will probly try ur recipe wid desi sugar!
Kalyanee

The recipe sounds easy, Soumya. Here most of the chocolate brands (or candy as it is called) have eggs in them; I keep away from them. Eggless chocolate sounds yummy. Will try it out.

Burn away the calories you gain from chocolates  by writing yet another intense blog!
Enjoyed your latest blog on VIP security. Will leave a comment there.
Thank you Sundar for the wonderful compliment. Your thanks are due to Shobana.
Old people, Sundar? There are no old people on Sulekha; not once they start blogging

You are a wicked woman, to be spreading recipes like this one, to tempt everyone with sweets. Do you realise that old people too read your blogs?! And then sit licking their fingers, begging for more? Do you know that it is impossible to stop with just one piece? Would you also suggest some home-made treatment along with the recipe, for obesity, diabetes etc.etc.?
You know, there is a small shop called King's Confectioners in Ooty who sell absolutely delicious chocolates which used to sell for Rs.250 a kilo some 10 years back. The chocolate made with your recipe is fit to be sold in that shop!
Thank you ma'am for such a lovely chocolate recipe. May you be spreading such sweetness in the world. May your tribe increase.

I am sure you can give me expert advice by now Shobana!
Next time sprinkle some crushed nuts if you like.

a thing of the past the way it is being consumed.
This is one reason I have stopped making chocolates and other sweets.
With the kids having flown the coop, it is easier for my hubby to find out why the quantity is reducing the way it does!

 I would love to try the chocolate roll with marie biscuit recipe. Thanks.

Well I did try the recipe. But managed to convert it from easy to hard. Third time lucky. I finally managed to get the chocolate firm enough to cut. Perhaps too firm though. It became a fudge - the chewy kind. But the taste was/is wonderful. 'Was' is the right tense as it looks like it will soon come to be a thing of the past the way it is being consumed.  Thanks a lot for your prompt response via note. Maybe next time I'll get the texture right - or perhaps will prefer this texture itself.!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe. Have you ever tried the chocolate roll made with marie biscuit besides other stuff. Will send it across if you want.
