Chukhandar ka Halwa

#bcam21 #diwali21 #toc4 #cookpadindia Beetroot in Hyderabad is called Chukhandar. It's a Urdu word for Beetroot. And this one is such a pretty one with lots of chopped Dry Fruits and Milk along with the goodness of Ghee or Butter. I have slow cooked it for nearly an hour. Though I have shared Pressure cooked Halwa as well on this platform, this one is my favourite always.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Grate Beetroots either with a manual grater or in a Food Processor whichever is more convenient. Use a grater with small depressions. It's more better than the big one's.

* Step 2

Add Milk to a deep cooking pot or a big kadai along with the grated Beetroots. Mix well and cook on a low to medium high heat keeping an eye on it all the while. Keep stirring at regular intervals. Otherwise it might stuck at the bottom and get burnt leaving a very bad smell.

* Step 3

Cook until they are tender and soft along with the quantity of Milk almost decreased to one fourth of the original. Now it's time to add Sugar and the Cardamom powder. Mix well. And cook on a high heat stirring all the while.

* Step 4

After about 10 minutes, add Ghee or Butter. Roast it well until it leaves the sides of the pot or kadai and there is no amount of water remaining. It has to be completely dry and roasted well. Keep a vigilant eye all the while. And finally add in lots of slivered Mixed Dry Fruits and Nuts. Enjoy!
