BEET ROOT HALVA

This sweet dish is made very simply without much hassles with  milk sugar and ghee.  It is a lovely sweet dish anyone will like it.  We can make beet milk shake, beetroot kheer, beetroot vadai etc apart from making subzi out of it.    very easy to make and yummy sweet dish.  Since beetroot is sweet in nature, the sugar i have used very little, if you want more sugar, add according to your requirement.
