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.
