Ingredients

  • Beetroot - 1 medium-sized
  • Dates - 10 to 12 nos
  • Homemade Ghee - 2 tsp
  • Water - as needed

Instructions

Preparation

  • Sterilize the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same vessel until use.

Method

  • Keep all the ingredients ready. Wash and peel the beetroot with a peeler. Chop them into cubes.
  • Steam or pressure cook the beetroots using a steamer or pressure cooker with required water. In the meantime, remove the seeds from dates. Take the dates in a vessel and add hot water till it immersed level. Keep it undisturbed for 5 minutes until it becomes soft.
  • Once the beetroots are cooked, grind them together with dates. For both steaming & blending, I use Philips Avent Combined Steamer and Blender
  • Heat ghee in a pan and add the beetroot dates puree to it. Mix well. Then cook it further for 5 to 10 minutes with occasional stirring. Switch off the flame when it becomes thick & the halwa leaves out of the pan.
