Beetroot Halwa Recipe for Children

Ingredients Required

To prepare this simple and tasty beetroot halwa recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized beetroots (grated)

• 1 cup full-fat milk

• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust according to preference)

• 1/4 cup ghee

• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

• A handful of cashews and almonds (chopped)

• A pinch of saffron strands (optional)

• 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional)

Steps to Prepare Beetroot Halwa

1. Prepare the Beetroots:

Start by peeling and grating the beetroots finely. This makes it easier to cook and helps release the natural sweetness of the beets.

2. Cook the Beetroots:

Heat a pan on medium flame, and add 2 tablespoons of ghee. Once it melts, add the grated beetroots. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they become tender and start releasing their juices.

3. Add Milk and Cook:

Pour in the full-fat milk and mix well. Let the mixture cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk reduces and the beetroots are soft and fully cooked.

4. Sweeten the Halwa:

Now, add the sugar to the mixture. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens further.

5. Add Flavour and Garnish:

Sprinkle the cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using). Stir well, and then add the chopped cashews, almonds, and grated coconut. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the nuts to toast lightly and add an extra crunch.

6. Serve:

Once the halwa reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Serve warm as a delicious treat for your children.
