Beetroot Halwa–Navarathri Recipes (Day 6)

Sixth Day of Navarathri –Beetroot Halwa

Beetroot halwa is one of the delicious halwa. It is a quick and relatively healthy dessert to have with your family. It’s an Indian pudding which could be made using grated beetroot. Some delightful dessert should be there for Navaratri and Diwali festival. This time I wanted to prepare some kind of halwa. It's very easy and takes little time but then it's worth every minute we spend.  I did beetroot halwa in pressure cooker to cut down cooking time Also I used little ghee but that was quite enough if you wish you can add more ghee to suit your needs and taste bud. I usually prepare beetroot halwa the same way as Gajar ka halwa. You know, roasting shredded beet and then cooking with some milk is the secret behind the scene. Being not an absolute fan of beetroot, I really needed some push to include it in my diet.

Notes

My mom will add carrots too for healthier version.

Milk can be added more which gives the halwa a lighter color.
A very tiny bit of cooking camphor can be added at the final cooking stage to give added flavor
