Quinoa Kheer Recipe | Quinoa Pudding Recipe | How to Make Quinoa Dessert

Quinoa Kheer | Quinoa Pudding: Creamy dessert made with quinoa, milk and condense milk, flavored with elaichi and saffron and garnished with nuts.  Serve this quinoa kheer hot or cold. It  tastes delicious both ways. Quinoa seeds are high in protein and fiber. I often use them in my breakfast, lunch and dinner. They all are salty recipes so thought of trying something sweet with quinoa. I tried this quinoa kheer and it came out delicious so thought of making quick video for my viewers.

Rice kheer and vermicelli (seviyan) kheer are popular desserts in India and made very often for festivals, parties and get-togethers. If you want to try something different try this quinoa kheer. I am sure you will love it.

I have also posted a very simple and instant ladoo kheer recipe, fruit cream, chocolate laddu which is also a great option for party, get-together or as an everyday dessert.
