Don’t let anyone tell you halwa is unhealthy. Beetroot halwa is not as popular as carrot halwa or Sooji halwa. For those of you that are sceptical/curious about it’s taste, it tastes the same as carrot halwa. Beetroots are nutritious and healthy and this recipe is excellent for kids who are not fond of beetroots.
Ingredients
500 grams beetroot or about 3 cups grated beets
3 cups full fat whole milk
6 tablespoon regular sugar or organic unrefined cane sugar - adjust as required
3 tablespoon ghee
5 to 6 green cardamom crushed and powdered finely in a mortar-pestle - or about ⅓ teaspoon cardamom powder
5-6 almonds sliced
Crushed almonds and pistachios for garnishing
Method
Rinse, peel and grate the beetroots.
In a kadai or deep thick bottomed pan combine milk and grated beetroot.
On a low to medium flame, bring the whole mixture to a boil and then simmer.
Keep on stirring at intervals when the mixture comes to a boil and later simmers.
The grated beetroots will cook in the milk and the milk will start to reduce and evaporate.
When the milk has 75% to 80% reduced, sugar to the halwa mixture.
Stir well and continue to simmer and cook on a low flame.
Keep on stirring the beetroot halwa in between.
Towards the end, add the ghee, almonds, cardamom powder and simmer till all the milk is evaporated. Switch off the burner.
Garnish with almonds and pistachios. Serve beetroot halwa hot, warm or you can also serve it cold. It can also be served hot with your favourite ice cream.
