Ingredients
Rawa – 2 cups
Sugar – 2 cups
Ghee – ½ cup
Cardamon – 4 to 5
Cashew Nuts – 10
Directions
- Heat a dry kadai and lightly toast the rawa until it’s warm to the touch. Transfer to a mixer or grinder and process into a fine powder. Separately, grind the sugar into a fine powder as well.
- Sift the powdered rawa and sugar through a fine sieve into separate bowls.
- Measure the sifted rawa and combine it with an equal amount of sifted sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Grind the cardamom seeds into a fine powder and add it to the rawa and sugar mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
- In the same kadai, add one teaspoon of ghee and sauté the cashew nuts until golden. Add the fried cashews to the rawa mixture and mix well.
- Return the kadai to the stove, add the remaining ghee, and heat it over low flame.
- Scoop two or three large spoonfuls of the rawa mixture onto a plate. Drizzle one or two tablespoons of the heated ghee over the mixture and combine using a spoon.
- Once slightly cooled, knead the mixture with your fingers. Take small portions and shape them into lemon-sized balls by pressing the mixture between your palms.
- Continue this process until all the rawa mixture is used up.
- You should end up with approximately 20 Urundai balls.

Hi Mam
I tried your magilampoo murukku which came out very well….thank you for the recipe and i really think your website is useful.
Thank you Geetha for trying Murukku and nice to hear that it came out well.
Hi Aunty, u recipes are good.. i just tried rawa urundai..I did according to ur steps …but i can’t get the rawa balls. It is breaking even i pour more spoons of ghee..pls where i go wrong..
Hi Priya,
You have to add hot ghee. If you powder both fried rawa, sugar and add hot ghee and make the balls, it will stay round.
Thank u Aunty..ill do the same..
