Beetroot Halwa

On the 8th of every Month I make something special to mark the day my Daughter was born. This is her 11th month B'day, most often I bake a simple cake but then again I wanted to try something different.
Thought of making a dish which is colorful and a wee bit different than the usual,my pantry didnt show any such items nor did my freezer.I saw the Beetroots in my fridge an immediately thought of the betroot halwa.I've never made any halwa other than carrot halwa ever but this was good.
My friend S and my husband liked it infact S said that now she likes the beetroot halwa more than the normal carrot halwa.Like always this was a simple,few ingredients recipe but had a long cooking time( thats not something that like,standing in front of stove for long on a hot day) nevertheless it tasted wonderful and well worth the effort.
It was so good that I'm wondering if there is any event that I can send it to.I got this from here
