I had to do something memorable with the last batch of Sweet Potatoes that I bought from the Grocery last month. As I was pondering what I could do, I recalled that I had bookmarked this recipe a while back. I had some leftover cooked Quinoa that ended up into the pot at the very last minute. How's that for an interesting twist? Lovely way to down the Quinoa if you ask me. I personally don't like the look of Quinoa..like little curly worms! But this Kheer makes it irresistible and tastes Yum!

Love the addition of quinoa to the kheer. I have quinoa for breakfast with milk and nuts minus sugar, so I am sure I will enjoy this Kheer.
ReplyDeleteThose curly little worms look like tapioca in the kheer.
