Ingredients

500 g Beetroot Grated
1 litre Full Fat Milk
½ cup Ghee
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Khoya Grated
2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
10-12 Cashew Nuts Crushed
10-12 Almonds Crushed

Instructions

Heat milk in a pan.
Once the milk comes to a boil, add the grated beetroot and cook until all the milk is absorbed.
Add ghee in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add sugar and khoya and cook for another 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
Keep stirring in between.
Add cardamom powder, cashew nuts and almonds and mix well.
Garnish with almond and pistachio slivers and silver foil.

Notes

Do not cook Beetroot before adding into the Halwa. Directly add in the raw grated Beetroot into the milk.

Make sure you grate the beets into medium thickness. If you grate them too thin, the halwa will become mushy and they are too thick, the pieces will stand out and the beetroot might not cook evenly.

You can skip the Khoya and just make the Halwa with full cream milk. Just increase the amount of milk, if you are not using Khoya.

Keep stirring the Halwa in between, you do not want it to be burnt from down.

Do not miss out on cardamom powder, it adds a great flour to this Halwa and makes it even more delicious.
