Beet root honey halwa/sugar free sweets/Sugar free beet root walnut halwa/Beet root sweet poli/step by step pictures/Mahas own recipes

Who don`t want a good health..Of course..every one want/need it....But,It`s difficult to control taste buds from sugar and calorie foods...Instead of taking heavy carbohydrates or white sugar,it`s better to replace with protein loaded foods.Also, try to replace sugar with jaggery,honey and dates.Iam trying to cut sugar nowadays and taking fruits much...This a very old recipe which is in draft from last 4-5 months...Yup...that`s a very long time na...

Long time back I made beet root milk powder halwa and that pictures are in pen drive still.again few months back,One day While thinking to cook some sweet,remembered beet roots.This time,instead of sugar added honey in halwa and it came out very tasty..To make it some crunchy,added walnuts powder and 100% it`s a healthy dessert..of course!! It is sweet in taste,but can`t compare with sugar taste..Sweet tooth people must try this to satisfy them selves.
