Beetroot Halwa Recipe with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube channel. This is another yummy halwa using beetroot, the most common veggie available everywhere also called Chukandar in Hindi. Chukandar ka Halwa is prepared with 3 main ingredients, beetroot, milk, and sugar, unlike carrot halwa, it does not require condensed milk or khova.  Beetroots gets caramelized in the sugar and lends an exotic taste to the halwa, even kids love to eat it for the beautiful color. Also, beetroot is naturally sweet in nature, so you can reduce the sugar quantity to half or as preferred. As all of us know, Beets have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.

Notes

Tips for Chukandar ka Halwa

  1. Use fresh, tender, juicy, bright red colored beetroots for a good taste and bright color.
  2. I used a normal vegetable grater, but it takes time. You can use a food processor to quicken the process.
  3.  I used full-fat milk, so didn’t use khova. If preferred, use 1/4 cup khova at the final stage, it thickens the halwa fast.
  4. Use a heavy-bottomed pan/nonstick pan otherwise, the halwa gets burnt at the bottom.
  5. Saute the beets well, to avoid the raw smell of the veggie.
  6. Ensure the beets are cooked completely before adding sugar, else it won't get cooked afterward.
  7. Don't reduce the ghee quantity, else the halwa turns sticky.
  8. If preferred, 2 tbsp of condensed milk can be added along with milk, as it enriches the taste of the halwa. If adding, reduce the sugar quantity.
  9. This Beetroot Halwa Recipe stays good for 1 week under refrigeration, but warm it before serving.
  10. Switch off the flame immediately after the halwa leaves the sides of the pan and forms a mass. Don't cook furthermore, as the halwa turns hard and chewy.
  11. If the halwa turns too dry, add little warm milk or ghee and mix well.
