Quinoa kheer recipe – A creamy dessert made with quinoa, flavoured with cardamom and saffron.I am looking out to try for more quinoa recipes to try with the pack of quinoa I bought online.So this quinoa kheer is my recent try, it came out so delicious.

I just replicated the rabri sauce and this quinoa kheer was a super hit at home.

I am sure am going to make this often as everyone at home enjoyed it.We had it chilled but its your preference to have it warm or chilled.

7. Now add sugar and let it cook for 5 mins in low flame.

Recipe Notes

• Simmer in low flame so that milk thickens and gives a nice creamy kheer.
• You can add any nuts of your choice,as I had made the kheer like rabri I added just pistachios.
• It thickens with time so switch off accordingly.You can add little milk(boiled) while serving if it becomes very thick.
