Ingredients for making beetroot burfi:

3 beetroots
1/2 cup almond milk (vegans) or any plant based milk
or regular milk is also fine
1.5 cup sugar
1/4 tsp elakki powder/cardamom powder
oil / ghee the plate and keep it ready

Method:

Wash the beetroot, peel the skin and grate it
Transfer the grated beets to a thick bottom pan, add almond milk or any plant based milk or regular milk
Mix it and turn on the heat and let it cook on medium heat for a minute, then add sugar.
Mix it and let it cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the burfi mix thickens.
Now reduce the heat to low and stir it until the burfi mix forms a ball.
Add cardamom powder, mix it.
I have not added any oil/ghee in this recipe. If you feel it is sticking to the pan you can add little coconut oil (vegans) or ghee
Once it forms a ball/one lump, turn off the heat and
transfer this to a greased plate, spread it and let it cool completely before you cut this.
Now cut this to the desired shape and size.
The measurement we have given here yields around 25 pieces.

TIPS:

If you cannot get the pieces(very soft) then put the mix back in the pan and keep it back on the stove on medium low heat, stir for a few more minutes, and then put it back on the plate.
if the burfi is too dry(breaks),put the mix back in the pan, sprinkle little water and keep it back on the stove on medium low heat, stir for few more minutes, and then put it back on the plate. sprinkle some water and follow the same procedure.
