Beetroot halwa


This halwa is healthy as it uses less fat, skimmed milk powder and the natural sweetness of beetroot. I have used sugar substitute too to make it low on calorie count.

    Ingredients:
    Grated beetroot -300gms
    Skimmed milk powder -100gms
    Sugar substitute - 4tblsps
    Cardamom powder-1tsp
    Clarified butter -3 tablespoons
    Cashew nuts-50gm
    Water-1/2cup
    Salt -1/4tsp


Method:
In a non-stick pan fry the cashews nuts in little clarified butter. Remove and keep it aside.
In the same pan place the grated beetroot, salt and water. Close and cook for few minutes. When the beetroot turns soft add the skimmed milk powder, sugar substitute and the balance clarified butter. Cook over a low flame stirring continuously till all the water has evaporated. Then, switch of the flame and add the cardamom powder. Garnish with fried cashews.
