Beetroot Halwa

For the past few days I have been very busy looking after Aashu. So its quite sometime I prepared any new dish. The occasion called for when K’s Aunt and Uncle dropped by for three days. I was quite apprehensive whether they will like my cooking. They were our first guests after marriage and after moving into our new house. There were fresh Beetroots in the refrigerator. I thought why not prepare Beetroot Halwa. It turned out to be very yum yum and delicious. This is Ammas receipe.
