quick beetroot halwa recipe with step by step photos. a quick version of beetroot halwa made with khoya or mawa.

i have already shared beetroot halwa recipe slow cooked in milk. the slow cooking and simmering in milk takes a lot of time but this recipe is a quick as well as an easy version. so thought of sharing the recipe for diwali.

the crimson reddish color on the halwa looks so pleasing to the eyes. if you taste the halwa, you won’t get the beetroot flavor and the halwa tastes similar to gajar halwa. i have added more dry fruits in the halwa. you can also make this halwa with less or no dry fruits.

serve khoya beetroot halwa as a dessert after meals or as a sweet. you can make this halwa ahead of time and refrigerate. it stays good for 4 to 5 days.
