Beetroot halwa is a very simple sweet dish made in Tamilnadu.This is a dish made more often @ my home,with the left over beetroots.It is very easy to make & is very delicious too.

Here goes the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup grated beetroot.
• 1/2 cup milk.

• cardamom
• Raisins.
• Cashews or almonds.
• 1 or 2 tsps of ghee.

Method:

• Bring the grated beetroot,milk & water together in a big pot & cook them in low flame.Will take at least 15 to 20 mins to get completely cooked.
• In the mean time,fry the cashews & raisins in ghee separately to a golden brown color & keep it aside.
• Keep stirring frequently and cook till it becomes soft & thick in consistency.
• Then add crushed cardamom,sugar,roasted cashews & raisins.
• Keep stirring until all the water and milk evaporates.
• Once the mixture becomes thick,add ghee just before removing from the flame & stir once,so that the ghee melts & mixes well with the mixture.
