I was in mood of making some colourful sweet.I like the colour of beetroot,as it gives a nice natural red colour to any dish in which it is added.So i decided to make its burfi, as halwa was bit common.I used the normal carrot halwa recipe, but used fresh grated coconut as it helps burfi to set and keeps it firm and also id did not want to use khoya.I also did not use milk in it as i had to store it for some more days and milk would make it sticky.I made this burfis and they were very nice.I liked its colour so i did not garnish it with any dryfruits to keep its natural look.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup grated beetroot
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
1/4 cup cashewnut powder(optional)
3/4 cup sugar
2-3 table spoon ghee
1/2 tea spoon cardomom powder
METHOD:
Squeeze the grated beetroot to remove extra juice from it and make it bit dry.Heat a kadai and add 1 table spoon ghee.
when the ghee is melted and hot add the grated beet root and saute it till it becomes dry and soft.It will take around 3-4 mins.Now add the grated fresh coconut and cook it while stirring countinously for 2-3 mins.
Now add the cashewnut powder and stir well.Cook for 1 more min.Now add sugar and keep on stirring till the mixture thickens.Use sugar according to your taste.When it is thickened well add the remaining ghee and stir till the mixture forms a ball and the ghee starts coming out of it.spinkle cardomom powder and remove from flame.
Now grease a tray and spread the mixture evenly.After 5 mins when its almost half set give it desired shape and let it set fully.
It remains fresh in refrigerator for more then a week.
NOTE: I had used heart shaped buscuit cutter to give it heart shape.
Preparation Time: 20 mins
