Beetroot Halwa (Simple Microwave Recipe)

Beetroot halwa is one of my favorite halwa recipe. My mom used to make it very often when I was doing my school. It taste so yummy and colour is much attractive. Naturally beetroot contains high content of sucrose and it gets sticky soon. It is difficult to mix evenly throughout the process. In Microwave we can make this dish without straining much. It is very simple to make with less ingredients.
