Beetroot Halwa

Yesterday, being sunday, my kids were in the mood to eat something sweet prepared by me (nothing from out, my son insisted). I wanted to prepare something fast and less tedious, so, decided on carrot halwa. There were less carrots in the fridge but found beetroots instead. So, here is my halwa recipe with beetroot which turned out very good, good enough to be cleaned off completely, instantly.
