Beetroot Halwa
Made this halwa due to my daughter's request. She has been an ardent fan of beetroot halwa since her childhood. Instead of grating the beetroot for the halwa which I regularly do, I steam cooked the beetroot and grinded it. This process was super quick and the halwa consistency was achieved faster than expected. As Beetroot is very healthy vegetable, this sweet item is very sutiable for kids.
Ingredients
Beetroot - 2 Big ( 4 Cup )
Sugar - Between 1 Cup and 2 cups
Cardamom Powder / Elachi Powder - 3 tsp
Cashewnuts - 1 Handful
Melted Butter / Ghee - 3 tbsp
Rose Essence - 2 Drops
Method
Peel the skin and steam cook the beetroot using a pressure cooker. Grind the beetroot using a mixer grinder and transfer it into a thick bottomed pan/ kadai. Add the sugar, cardamom powder and a drop of rose essence and stir them well. When the consistency of the Halwa is perfect, then add the ghee to the halwa and stir them for few more minutes. After the halwa is done, transfer the halwa into a serving bowl. Decorate the halwa with ghee roasted cashew nuts on its top just before serving..
