Beetroot Halwa

Yummy, colour full ,tasty "Beetroot Halwa" very tempting and tasty Indian recipie. Mostly all of us prepare carrot Halwa, but beets are very good source of manganese, potassium and copper. They are also a good source of dietary fiber,magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C, iron and vitamin B6. Feeding Beetroot to kids as poriyal is really tuff Job 🤔 so I usually covert it into cutlets and Halwa. Even those don't like beets will eat this . Try it out and pls comment! Ur suggestions are always welcome ☺

Ingredients :

Beetroot grated - 2 cups 
Sugar -1/2 cup( I used Organic brown sugar)
Milk - 2 cups
Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp
Almonds/Badam - 10
Cashew nuts - few
Ghee - 1/4 cup
Unsweetened khoya - 100 grams (optional)

Preparation

Wash, peel the skin and grate beetroot. Food processer makes the job easy. If u don't have one , no worries just grate it in big holes of hand grater.

Cut almonds, cashews and pista into thin strips. Heat a tsp of ghee, fry the nuts and keep it aside.

Method:

In a Kadai add grated beets and 2 cups of milk and cook the beetroot on low flame, stirring in between. Cook till the beetroot becomes soft and most of the milk gets evaporated.

At this stage add sugar and cook till sugar dissolves and gets mixed well with the beetroot.

Add cardamom powder, remaining ghee and cook stirring for a few more seconds on low heat.

Garnish with nuts and mix well. Serve hot or warm.

Note:
Using full fat milk gives richness to the halwa, so I used cow milk.

It's takes 30 min to prepare this . Don't make it too dry.
