Yes, traditionally we grate beetroot for halwa but to save time I have finely chopped beetroot. Avoid bigger chunks of beetroot. For kids, you can even grind beetroot and prepare halwa.
Can I make a pressure cooker beetroot ka halwa?
Yes, you can make a pressure cooker or instant pot beetroot halwa. Saute beets and pressure cook in separator or release pressure manually then prepare halwa.

Notes
- I have chopped beetroot into tiny pieces with a chopper. Instead, you can grate the beetroot
- for halwa, have cooked beetroot in the pan.Instead, you can pressure cook beetroot with milk and prepare halwa in a pan
- Avoid adding sugar before cooking beetroot
- Add sugar according to your sweetness
- Because of milk shelf life of beetroot halwa is less
- After halwa is cool refrigerate. It stays good for 3 days
