Many dont like eating beetroot and my family is no exception and so thought of making a sweet today...halwa with it....And you know what my husband who does not like sweets much was the one who finished it , with very little left for us....
Ingredients
grated beetroot-1 cup
fresh thick milk-1 cup
sugar-1 1/2 cup
ghee/vanaspathi-4 tablespoon
elaichi crushed-2
PREPARATION
Pour ghee in a pan saute with elaichi ,then add grated beetroot and saute well in low flame for 5 minutes.Now add the milk to this mixture and close the pan.now keep in low flame ,let the beetroot boil well in milk for about 10 minutes...Meanwhile on the other pan add sugar , with enough water to dip the sugar(1-1.5 cup).stir it occasionally until it forms a thick syrup...it should be sticky enough when you touch it...now when its done switch off the stove.Now on the other pan when milk is completely absorbed by beetroot add the sugar syrup and mix well , wait until you get halwa consistency...Now awesome beetroot halwa is ready....
TIPS
For a good halwa vegetable should be well boiled and sugar syrup should be thick sticky consistency..
If required you can add fried cashews and raisins to halwa at the end and mix.Since i like it to have halwa as a whole i avoided it...
Sugar quantity can vary a little depending on the sweetness of vegetable.
