Ingredients

For the pudding

  • 1 1/2 cups quinoa, cooked
  • 1 teaspoon ghee
  • 1 apple, finely chopped
  • 750 ml skim milk
  • 8 strands saffron
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom, crushed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
  • Apples for topping, sliced

Method

1

In a pot, heat the ghee and add the finely chopped apples. Saute for 3-4 minutes till slightly soft.

2

Add quinoa, milk, saffron and cardamom to your pot.

3

Bring it to a boil and simmer for 35-40 minutes until milk reduces by about one third, allowing the kheer to thicken up. You can simmer for longer if you like your kheer really thick.

4

Add sugar and stir until combined.

5

Cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for an hour or so.

6

Serve chilled, topped with chopped pistachios and apple slices.
