Beetroot Halwa

Procedure:

• Add ghee (clarified butter) to the pan
• Add beetroot
• Cook for 5 minutes
• Tip: Keep turning the beetroot around while cooking
• Add 1 liter milk
• Keep stirring the ingredients well
• The mixture should turn pinkish in color
• Leave open for 20-25 minutes so that the milk dries out
• After the milk has reduced in quantity, add sugar
• Tip: The sugar will leave its own water which, in turn, seeps into the mixture
• After adding sugar the mixture changes color
• Let the mixture cook for 20-225 minutes
• Tip: Do not cover the pan as the Halwa (pudding) is getting cooked
• Once the mixture has dried out, add the almond flakes
