Ingredients

  • 3 Beetroots (medium sized) organic if possible
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Brown sugar if preferred
  • 4 tbsp Ghee
  • 10 Cashews
  • 25 Raisins optional
  • 3 Cardamom crushed, or 1 tsp Cardomom powder

Instructions

  1. Organic, medium sized beets taste very good for this recipe. But you can use regular beets as well.  Wash the beets and peel the skin and then grate them finely in a veggie grater using the smallest setting.

  2. Take a pot and add the grated beetroot, milk and cook for 15 – 20 mins in medium heat stirring occasionally.

  3. When it is almost cooked, add sugar, ghee and continue cooking for additional 5 mins till the halwa cooks fully and obtains the desired consistency.

  4. Roast cashews (or your preferred nuts), raisins (optional) in ghee and add to halwa.  Also add 3 crushed cardamom, mix well and serve.

Recipe Notes

· Warm the halwa before serving.
· You can add a scoop of ice-cream (any preferred flavor) along with the halwa when serving (lovely combination).
