For the beginners, I would suggest you to start with this beet root halwa to learn cooking since this is a hassle free recipe. Here, we mix sugar with boiling beetroot and enrich the halwa by adding ghee and some cashews. It is almost similar to that of Carrot Halwa recipe but of course, there is a difference in taste.

KitchenMasti Points.

You can opt for kova in place of milkmaid for a different taste.
If you opt for adding kova, then increase the quantity of sugar by 2 tbsp.
You can increase the quantity of ghee as per your taste. The more the ghee, richer is the halwa.
In this recipe I have added only cashews but you can add raisins and pista too.
