Quinoa Kheer (Sweet Rice Style Quinoa)

Mangoes just do not disappoint, no matter how you eat them.

Traditionally an Indian rice pudding in which I decided to switch quinoa for the rice and almond milk to keep it vegan. Adding in mango just escalated the sweet dish to another level… bias mango lover over here 🙋🏽‍♀️

This is gluten free, refined sugar free, ekadashi friendly and so so simple.

I made this a while ago in the boom of mango season. So you if you can’t get hold of any fresh ones you can sub in tinned mango pulp.

Prep Time

10 mins

Cook Time

20 mins

Serves

2

Ingredients

¼ Cup Quinoa
2 Cups Almond Milk
1 – 2 Tbsp Agave Syrup
¼ Tsp Cardamom Powder
Pinch Saffron
1 Kesar Mango

Method

1. Wash the quinoa.

2. In a pan add the milk and quinoa and heat over low flame.

3. We want the consistency of the mixture to thicken up but not solidify (and the quinoa cooked).

4. Peel the mango and squeeze the mango into a pulp.

5. Add in the spices and mango pulp and stir through.

6. If at all the mixture starts to get too thick you can add a little more milk.

And there you have it. I prefer to let it cool in the fridge before serving. Great for a warm summers day.
