Instructions
Preparation:
Wash and scrub the beetroot really well.
Peel and discard the skin.
Grate it using a box grater or a food processor.
Making Beetroot Halwa Recipe:
Heat the 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan and add grated beetroot.
Cook for about 5 minutes or till it starts to soften and shrinks in size. Do stir occasionally.
Then add milk and bring it to a simmer.
Continue cooking with stirring often to avoid sticking and burning. As the milk evaporated and starts to become thick, do stir very often and eventually stir continuously.
Cook till all the moisture is evaporated (for about 15 minutes).
Then add sugar and cardamom powder, mix well.
Again stir and cook till the moisture from sugar is evaporated and becomes thick halwa consistency (about 6 minutes).
Lastly, add chopped almonds, cashews and remaining 1 tablespoon ghee.
Mix and cook for a minute and then turn off the stove.
Notes
Cooking time may vary depending on the size and shape of the pan and variations in gas flame intensity.
It also depends on the quantity you are making. More you make, more times it takes to cook.
