1
In a small pan, heat 3 tablespoons butter on low flame. When butter starts to simmer, add almonds.Stir vigorously until almonds become a golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the butter and add raisins. Stir until they plump and remove to paper towel-lined plate with almonds.
2
In a large saucepan, warm remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add sooji and stir until well coated and lightly browned. Remove from heat and add milk and sugar until no lumps remain.
3
Return pot to stove and begin stirring mixture on medium heat. If you see lumps, remove from heat again and stir. Remove from heat when mixture begins to bubble. Allow to cool by stirring vigorously for a few minutes.
4
Slowly temper in the beaten egg: Stir and mix in egg very slowly to keep egg from scrambling. Keep stirring until combined.
5
Add vanilla extract and taste. Season with salt. If you enjoy your ravo thinner, you can add more milk at this time.
6
Pour into a serving bowl and decorate with almonds and raisins and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Mixture will thicken as it cools.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
