Heat ghee in a pan over medium flame. Add chopped cashews and raisins and sauté until cashews turn golden brown and raisins puff up. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add Bombay rava to the same pan and roast continuously on low to medium heat until it turns fragrant and slightly changes color.
Add grated coconut to the roasted rava and roast together for another 2 to 3 minutes on low flame until moisture evaporates. Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Add grated jaggery and water to the same pan. Melt jaggery completely on medium flame. Strain or pour the hot melted jaggery directly into the roasted rava mixture.
Add roasted cashews, raisins, and cardamom powder to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly while warm.
If the mixture feels dry or difficult to shape, sprinkle warm milk or additional melted ghee a little at a time and mix well. Take small portions of the warm mixture in your palm and roll them into compact, smooth laddus.
