Beetroot Halwa and Ragi Coconut Sheera: Recipes for Fast Weight Loss and Nutrient Replenishment

Let’s dive straight into the kitchen and concoct our first recipe, Beetroot Halwa. This dessert is a powerhouse of nutrients, especially iron, and calcium, making it an ideal choice for those battling deficiencies and aiming for rapid weight loss.

Beetroot Halwa Recipe

Ingredients:

• Beetroot: Grated, with water retained
• Mixed seeds: Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.
• Dry fruits: Cashews, almonds, etc.
• Ghee: 1 to 1.5 tablespoons
• Jaggery powder: Adjust to taste
• Fresh coconut: Grated (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Seeds: Start by taking any seeds you have at home, like pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Instead of blending them in a mixer, grind them using a traditional stone grinder if possible, ensuring they are coarsely ground.
2. Add Dry Fruits: Include a generous amount of cashews and almonds. These should also be coarsely ground to enhance texture.
3. Heating Up: In a heavy-bottomed iron pan, add 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ghee. Once the ghee heats up, add the ground dry fruits and seeds. Toast them on medium flame until they are well roasted and release a nutty aroma.
4. Incorporate Beetroot: Next, add the grated beetroot into the pan. Make sure you do not squeeze out the liquid from the beetroot, as it’s integral for the dish. Sauté the beetroot with the dry fruits and seeds on a low flame until the water evaporates.
5. Sweetening: Now, add jaggery powder to the mixture. The amount can be adjusted depending on your preference. Stir well until the jaggery melts and integrates with the beetroot completely.
6. Garnish and Serve: Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency, turn off the flame. Garnish with freshly grated coconut and extra dry fruits like cashews and almonds. Serve hot and enjoy this nutritious delight.

Ragi Coconut Sheera Recipe

The second recipe is Ragi Coconut Sheera, another nutrient-dense dessert perfect for fast weight loss and overall health improvement.

Ingredients:

• Ragi (finger millet) flour: 3 tablespoons
• Ghee: 3 tablespoons
• Fresh coconut: Grated
• Water: As needed
• Jaggery powder or desi khand: Adjust to taste
• Dry fruits: For garnish

Steps:

1. Roasting Ragi: Begin by dry roasting the ragi flour in a pan until its color changes and it emits a delightful aroma. This step is crucial to enhance the flavor of the sheera.
2. Adding Ghee: Once the ragi is well-roasted, add 3 tablespoons of ghee. Mix thoroughly so that the ghee coats the ragi flour evenly.
3. Incorporate Coconut: Add two handfuls of freshly grated coconut into the mixture. Stir well to combine the coconut with the ragi and ghee mixture.
4. Adding Water: Pour in enough water to achieve a halwa-like consistency. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Sweetening: Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, add jaggery powder or desi khand as per your taste. Stir until the jaggery is completely dissolved and integrated.
6. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the flame and garnish the sheera with dry fruits like cashews and almonds, or any other nuts of your choice. Serve hot.
