Notes

It is always preferable to soak quinoa for 30 minutes to 1 hour so it cooks faster.

The kheer will become thicker once it cools down. So add some boiled milk to adjust the consistency while serving.

Add any nuts of your choice to make it richer.

You can use condensed milk to make it more creamy and rich.
