Beetroot Halwa

When it comes to halwa, beetroot/carrot halwa is all time favorite. Even if you are not a big fan of beetroot, I am sure you can’t say no to Halwa. Like I mentioned in Carrot Payasam As a kid, I was a picky eater and always said no to beetroot. After tasting beetroot in this form, I started liking beetroot 🙂 Usually I do with white sugar but for change have tried with brown sugar and I didn’t feel any difference in taste.

Beetroot Halwa

Preparation Time : 10 min | Cooking Time :25 min

Recipe Category : Dessert/Sweet

Ingredients:

Beetroot – 2 cup (Peeled and grated/chopped in chopper)

Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup (Adjust according to your sweetness)

Milk – 2 cup

Ghee/Butter – 2 tbsp

Condensed Milk – 3 tbsp

Cardamom Powder – 1/4 tsp

Cashews – to garnish

Method:

• Add butter to pan, when the butter is hot, add cashew and roast till they are golden brown and keep aside
• In the same pan, add beetroot. Saute till the raw smell goes, for about 3-5 minutes

• Add milk and allow it to boil in medium flame. Mix well and cook till milk is absorbed fully. It took 7-10 mins for me

•  Add brown sugar and continue cooking till sugar dissolces completely

• Add condensed milk and cook till moisture is aborbed and halwa consistency is reached

My Notes:

• Same procedure can be followed for carrot/pumpkin halwa
• Adding condensed milk is optional, but it gave nice flavor to the dish
