Beetroot Halwa

Ingredients:
- 3 large grated beets
- 1 handful of chopped almonds
- 1 handful of chopped pistachios
- 100 ml evaporated milk
- 100 ml of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp. of butter
- 6 cardamom pods

Preparation:
1. In a large pot, melt the butter then add the seeds of your cardamom, the almonds and pistachios (keep some aside for garnishing) and cook for 1 to 2min on medium, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the grated beets, then both kinds of milk and mix. Cover your pot and let it all stew for about fifteen minutes.
3. Past the 15 minutes, remove the lid and stir again, then let it simmer until the beets are fully cooked and the liquid has more or less evaporated. If needed, you may add a little water.
4. Once your halwa is ready, transfer it to your dish and decorate with the almonds and pistachios you kept aside. Let it cool down a just a few minutes, and enjoy! You can have it completely cooled, or have it when still slightly warm (or heat it a little before eating). I personally prefer it slightly warm, makes it more delicious!
