Quinoa Rice Pudding With Turmeric Recipe
Rice puddings are generally prepared with Milk and cream. I tried to tweak the recipe with few tasty healthy ingredients like turmeric, quinoa and coconut milk. This is a great addition for a festive lunch or dinner. Turmeric adds a flavour to the pudding and makes it more healthy. It is easy to make and can be also eaten as an after school snack for kids.
Course : Dessert
Ingridients : 1/2 cup Basmati rice , (I used white rice; we can substitute this with brown rice, you have to adjust the amount of water needed accordingly)
1/2 cup Quinoa
2 cup Coconut milk
1/2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Turmeric powder (Haldi)
3 Cardamom (Elaichi) Pods/Seeds , crushed
Mixed nuts , or fruit (as required)
Honey , or Maple syrup (as required)
Instructions To begin making the Quinoa Rice Pudding With Turmeric recipe, cook the rice and quinoa with 3 cups of water on medium heat. This usually takes about 15 minutes (depends on the stove top/gas settings)While the rice/quinoa are cooking, boil the coconut milk in a sauce pan on medium heat. Once the milk comes to a boil, add the cardamom, sugar, turmeric and let it boil for another 10 to 12 minutes.Once the rice and quinoa are done, add them to the boiling coconut milk mixture. Let it simmer for 5 minutes under medium heat. I use an immersion blender/hand blender to blend the mixture to get a smooth pudding like consistency. Let it cool and serve with chopped nuts, fruit, maple syrup or honey.The pudding can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. We can add more milk or honey to get the desired consistency following the refrigeration.Serve Quinoa Rice Pudding recipe as a sweet along with a South Indian meal of Steamed Rice, Mixed Vegetable Sambar Recipe, Aama Vadai, Carrot and Beans Thoran and a Pisarna Manga Recipe for a complete lunch.
