Beetroot Halwa
Beetroot Halwa is a delicious Indian dessert made from grated beetroot, milk, sugar, and ghee (clarified butter). It's a rich and creamy dessert that is typically garnished with nuts like almonds or cashews.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated beetroot
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to your taste)
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 handful almond or cashews for garnishing
Instructions
- Heat a pan and add the ghee to it. Once the ghee melts, add the grated beetroot and sauté it on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until it becomes soft and releases its moisture.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Add the boiled milk to the sautéed beetroot and cook on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
- Allow the mixture to simmer until most of the milk is absorbed by the beetroot. This process may take around 20-25 minutes.
- Add the sugar and cardamom powder to the mixture and continue cooking on low heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the halwa thickens.
- In a small pan, heat some ghee and roast the chopped nuts until golden brown.
- Once the halwa reaches a desired consistency and the ghee starts to separate from the sides, turn off the heat.
- Garnish the halwa with the roasted nuts and serve it warm.
