- If you're allergic to nuts or don't want to add it ? you can skip the cashew nuts. And if you do not have saffron , you can skip it. Both nuts and saffron is optional.
- Highly recommend to use ghee / clarifies butter - It is readily available in Indian market / Amazon online or Costco.
- Whole milk , 2% or 1 % milk is okay to use for this recipe.
- Thinly shredding the beetroots is important for the halwa texture.
- Recommend using white granulated sugar or fine white sugar.
- Do not sauté more or over cook halwa after adding sugar, once you see the consistency of the halwa getting thicker ( not to thick or watery) and it starts to leave the sides of the pot , remove the inner pot from the Instant pot to stop further cooking.
- Consistency of the halwa thickens a little after it cools down, which is perfectly normal.
