Beet Halwa
A Healthy Sweet
At Odanadi Seva Trust, a home for girls rescued from human trafficking, we concluded our month-long program with a few sessions on healthy sweets. Everyone loves traditional Indian Sweets, but they are usually made with ghee, milk, and refined sugar. This delicious recipe for Beet Halwa that one of our participants, Satya, created uses coconut milk and a local, minimally processed palm sugar called jaggery. Yum!
2-3 large beets, shredded and chopped 1 pinch of cardamom 1 pinch of cinnamon 1 / 2 cup coconut milk 1 / 4 cup jaggery( or maple syrup / date sugar)
