Ingredients
  • 2 Cups grated beetroot
  • ¼ Cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp ghee

  • 1¼ Cups milk
  • 1 small pinch edible camphor
  • 1-2 Tbsp milk powder
  • 1 Tbsp almond powder
  • 10-12 cashews
  • 2 Tbsp raisins

  3. Cover and cook the beetroots till the raw smell disappears
  4. After 4-5 minutes, pour in the milk and mix well
  5. Let the beetroots simmer in milk
  6. When the milk gets absorbed a bit, add sugar and mix well
  7. Keep mixing till the sugar melts and gets absorbed into the mixture
  8. Add milk powder and almond powder. Mix very well
  9. Sprinkle elaichi powder and edible camphor
  10. Throw in a few cashews and raisins
  11. Mix well and let the liquid get absorbed
  12. Lastly, add a Tbsp of ghee and mix very well
  13. When there is still some moisture left, remove from flame
  14. Halwa is ready. Serve warm or chilled
Notes
Ensure beetroots are fresh and firm which makes grating easy

You can also choose to golden-fry the cashews and raisins in a little bit of ghee and then add to the Halwa

Adding almond powder and milk powder is entirely optional. Almond powder helps Halwa to thicken quickly and milk powder adds a nice smooth texture to the Halwa
