Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 beetroot
  • 3 tbsp ghee
  • 2 tbsp cashew nuts
  • 2 cups milk boiled
  • 8 tbsp sugar/brown sugar approx. as per taste
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Grate Beetroot or coarse blend it using a food processor or grater.
  • In a flat non-stick pan, heat ghee and fry cashew nuts. As I don't like dry grapes in this halwa I didn't add but you can use if you wish.
  • Saute cashews in ghee until they become golden brown color, collect and keep separately for later use.

Recipe:

  • To the same non-stick pan add a tsp of ghee again and add grated Beetroot. If you are using a small pan to fry cashews, use a different larger pan to make halwa.
  • Saute Beetroot for five minutes in ghee until beetroot becomes flavorful. Keep stirring the pot to avoid burning the bottom.
  • After five minutes of frying, add milk and cook the Beetroot.
  • In five to eight minutes, Beetroot absorbs the milk and becomes soft and cooked.
  • Add brown sugar or jaggery powder and cardamom powder.
  • Mix the sugar with beetroot properly to make the vegetable absorb the sweet.
  • After adding sugar, the mix becomes thin and keep stirring.
  • Continue to mix until the melting sugar becomes thick.
  • Thickening of sugar syrup gives a glassy look to the halwa.
  • When the halwa gathers and becomes shiny without water add ghee and fried cashews.
  • Mix and switch off. Serve this halwa warm or cold.

Notes

Tips:
1) Always use fresh juicy Beetroot to make halwa.
2) For less creamy halwa use very less water instead of milk to cook Beetroot.
