Beetroot halwa

Beetroot is a vegetable which most of us  normally do not like to eat. We three in the family specially is just not comfortable eating this particular vegetable. I have been reading and watching this vegetable used in making halwa. So I thought to give it a try in my kitchen today. And the outcome is actually great. Very tasty & healthy one too. And the colour of beetroot gives an extra ordinary look to the halwa , no typical flavour of the beetroot exist any more.

Ingredients:

Beetroot: 1 medium sized grated
Milk: 1 1/2cup
Milk maid: 3 tbsp. (also depends on how sweetened you want your halwa to be)
Cardamom powder: 1/2 tsp
Ghee: 2-3 tbsp.

Method:

In a non-stick pan heat the ghee. Put the grated beetroot and stir very nicely for about 2-3 minutes. Add the cardamom powder and again mix and stir continuously for another 1 minute so that the beetroot gets cooked and release its strong essence/flavour . Now add the milk and mix properly and bring it to boil. Add the milk maid for the sweetness and the thick texture of the halwa. Mix properly and stir continuously till the halwa gets a little dry and attains a thick texture.

Serve the halwa hot or cold as per your choice and taste and garnish with almond & pista flakes before serving. A perfect evening snack or dessert during this monsoon.
