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