How to make Beetroot Halwa
This Beetroot halwa needs the minimum basic ingredients we have in our pantry. Beetroot, milk, and sugar. Ghee or clarified butter is used to give richness to the taste and you can add chopped nuts if you prefer. But I highly recommend giving a nice crunch. Heat milk in a heavy-bottomed wide pan. When it starts to boil, add grated beetroot. Once it is cooked add sugar and then the ghee. Once it reaches the consistency, add ghee-fried chopped nuts. Serve warm for the best taste.
