Beetroot halwa is a delicious indian dessert made with mashed beetroot the same way how carrot halwa is made. One of the greatest way to make your kids to enjoy their beetroot in the form of dessert. With beautiful vibrant red you could simply mistaken it with red velvet but, who guessed it's a humble root vegetable.
I made carrot halwa few times before but never thought of making halwa with beet. Beetroot halwa is made mashed beetroot simmered in milk and the goodness of ghee. My kids are not fond of beets as a mom, i always have to find a new way to sneak in veggies in a creative way in their food. This ruby red halwa is one of those
