Method

Wash and peel the beetroots, grate them with a grater and keep it aside.

In a heavy bottomed pan or a non-stick kadai heat about 1 tbsp of ghee and roast the cashew nuts, raisins and keep it aside. Make sure the cashew nuts should be golden brown and the raisins should puff up, at that point switch off the stove.

In the same pan heat 3 tbsp of ghee. Add the grated beetroot and saute really well until the raw smell of the beet root vanishes. This will take about 5 – 7 min on medium heat.

Add the milk and let the beetroot cook in milk until all the milk is absorbed and evaporated.

Now add the sugar and stir well. Let all the sugar dissolve and cook until it combines well with the beetroot. It will get halwa consistency, now add about 1 tbsp of ghee and stir it well.

Add the cardamom powder/Elachi Powder, roasted cashews and raisins. 

Stir it in beetroot halwa for another 2 min and switch off the stove.

Delicious and tempting Beetroot Halwa is ready to be enjoyed. You can garnish with sliced almonds and enjoyed which is optional.

Suggestions:

• I have added one cup of sugar because the beetroots will be sweet. If you really have a sweet tooth you can add another ¼ to ½ cup of sugar.
• Instead of sugar you can replace it with condensed milk, the beet root halwa will be really rich.
