Beetroot Halwa

Two big poor beetroot crept into my refrigerator couple of weeks ago. One was lucky enough to be made as a curry for chapathi. But beets are such a sweet vegetable (pun intended), they were never to be eaten again as a curry…This was my hub’s oath. So now, I have to make something to make this poor beet become more sweeter, and I decided to make beetroot halwa yesterday….:D and they turned out very well…Now the beet halwa is more preferred than beet curry 😀 so success!

2 cup grated beetroot
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of cardamom powder

Method:
1. In a microwave proof dish, mix the grated beets and milk and keep on medium power with constant stirring for about 25 mins or until beets have been cooked completely and milk is absorbed. If on a gas top, cook in a heavy bottom non-stick pan with constant stirring on medium flame until same consistency.
2. Add the sugar and keep on medium power, stirring occasionally for about 15 mins until sugar is completely dissolved and the required consistency for the beet is achieved.
3. Sprinkle cardamom, and toasted cashews.
4. Serve hot or cold 🙂
