Quinoa & Moongdal Kheer

Have you ever heard about quinoa and moongdal together in kheer?? am damn sure that u never heard about so, thats y i tried this combination for the first time day before sterday for our lunch as i had some sudden visit from my relatives..Quickly i prepared some ghee rice with paneer butter masala and as dessert i served this droolworthy kheer and for the first time they came to know about quinoa, am glad that they had and learned about this healthy grain through me and also i insisted them to use atleast once a while in their menu..Coming to this kheer, its really very quick and gets ready with less time and less ingredients, i used sweetened condensed milk for making this kheer..In case if u dont have condensed milk, u can go for thick milk and sugar..Sending to CWF-Quinoa guest hosted by Priya Mitharwal..

Quinoa & Moongdal Kheer

1/2cup Quinoa
