                                          Even diabetic persons can take beetroot.sugar present in it is fat free and has a medium glycemic index.I used to prepare beetroot thoran(stir fry)juice ,Pachadi ,koottu etc..But I think Halwa is more delicious than any other recipe.

  8. Halwa looks so excellent, very bright and fresh, seeming easy to prepare as well. I love the unique flavor combination using the cardamom which I've never tried. In the US beets tend to be more highly utilized in vinegars, and pickling. Will definitely prepare this dish. Thanks for sharing!
