Total Time : 55 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 7
  • 7-8 cups beetroot shredded


  • 1 cups condensed milk


  • 2 pinch nutmeg powder


  • 1 tsp cardamom powder


  • 1/2 cups mixed nuts slivered


  • 3-4 tbsp nova ghee or nova butter


  • 2 cups nova full fat milk


  • 1/2 cups mawa or khoya

Directions

  • Wash and peel the skin off the beetroots at first.
  • Shred the beetroots and add the milk to it in a heavy bottomed cooking pot.
  • Keep the flame on low at first.
  • This is basically done to avoid curdling of milk. Simmering it on high heat can cause the curdling of milk.
  • Allow it to simmer on medium heat once the milk starts boiling and the cooking process is initiated well.
  • Keep it covered and stir in between at regular intervals.
  • After about 20 to 25 minutes, the halwa starts thickening.
  • Now add the condensed milk, nutmeg and cardamom powders.
  • Mix well and add the butter or ghee also.
  • Now increase the flame and start mashing it well using the back of the spoon for even cooking.
  • In about 35 to 40 minutes, the halwa will be ready and just before switching off, add the mawa and the nuts in it.
  • Switch off the flame after adding mawa.
  • Let it cool down a bit before shaping into laddus.
  • Grease your palms a little before doing that and do not worry if they are little soft while making, they will be firm after a while.
  • Serve them chilled or warm as desired.
