Wash, peel and grate the beetroots to thick strands manually or in a food processor.

Heat butter in a wide skillet over medium heat and add grated beetroot.

Sauté for about 5 min till the raw smell vanishes.

Now, add milk to this and allow it to boil till the milk reduces to half the quantity. This may take about 15 minutes.

To this, add sugar and let it reduce till the fat leaves the sides of the pan. This will take another 12 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat once done.

Keep some fried cashews for garnish and add the rest to the beetroot halwa along with cardamom powder and mix well.

Garnish with fried cashews and serve hot.
