    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup quinoa
    • 1 teaspoon ghee
    • 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk
    • 3 tablespoon sugar
    • few strands saffron
    • a pinch of cardamom powder
    • 2 teaspoon pistachios chopped - just for garnish

    Instructions

    • Measure quinoa, rinse it in water at least twice then soak in water for at least 15mins. Drain and set aside.
    • Heat ghee in a pressure cooker, add drained quinoa.
    • Sauté for 3-5 mins in low flame until a nutty flavour comes. Now add 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup water.
    • Add a spoon to it to avoid milk overflowing while pressure cooking. Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles.
    • Now remove the spoon and check quinoa, it will be soft. Now add remaining 3/4 cup milk.
    • Add saffron, let it boil for a 2 mins or until it starts to thicken.
    • Now add sugar and let it cook for 5 mins in low flame.
    • Add cardamom powder and let it cook for 2 mins, finally garnish with chopped pistachios. Enjoy Quinoa Kheer!

    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.
