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 )
