Beetroot halwa this is one of the easiest sweet recipe you can do it .My first attempt on sweets was beetroot halwa and carrot halwa for my mom's birthday long back.The carrot halwa came very good but i didn't like beetroot halwa becoz of too much beetroot flavor.I haven't used milk in both the sweets and i cooked carrot and beetroot before making and pureed it. Later i never tried beetroot halwa.

Few weeks back we went to a restaurant which has a village style healthy cooking dosa's ,idly's and poori's made up of millet.There i saw beetroot halwa in the menu and we thought to try it ,but my luck its over already ,then i thought that i should try at home once.

The recipe i given below have equal ratio of Milk and Beetroot i.e 1:1 ratio.The preparation method and taste is almost same as carrot halwa.

Always use a Thick bottom pan to prepare sweets.

Its not mandatory that you need to completely dry the moisture.Now add in the milk and cook till the milk reduced completely.

It takes - 8-10 mins.Once reduced add in the sugar ,elachi powder and cook till it becomes thick and glossy.

Now in a seperate pan fry the nuts and add it to the halwa.

Notes:

The beetroot and milk should be on 1: 1 ratio.
Once cool down the halwa will be thickened .so remove from flame accordingly.
I used pistachio and cashew .use any nuts of your choice.
You can also used unsweetened khoya to increase the richness.But milk itself enough for the richness.
