INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup soaked almonds
• ½ cup quinoa
• 3½ cups water
• 6 tablespoons powdered jaggery
• ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
• 20 strands of saffron (approx.)
• ⅛ teaspoon rock salt

Topping

• 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
• 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
• 1 tablespoon raisins

PRE-PREPARATION

Soak the almonds in water for about 6 hours. After soaking peel the almonds.

Method

1. Place the quinoa in a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Then, let it simmer for about 45 minutes until the quinoa is fully cooked.
2. Meanwhile, add the peeled almonds and 1½ cups water to a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Add jaggery, cardamom, saffron, and salt and blend again.
4. Pour this mixture into a bowl, add the boiled quinoa, and stir well. This is your kheer.
5. Place it in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The quinoa will swell up & the kheer will get thick.

6. Top it with almonds, pistachios & raisins. Serve.
