Quinoa Kesari recipe | How to make Quinoa Kesari recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. One of the simplest dessert recipe with the superfood quinoa.
Am not that fond of desserts but my recent attraction towards quinoa made me try Kesari with it. nothing a difference in making it with quinoa. Just that you need to know the loop of handling quinoa in the right way.
When I first posted the curd quinoa recipe, I had also mentioned about how to cook it right. While making dessert, it is a bit different as we don’t want it to get mashed as well undercooked.
So, I would suggest soaking the quinoa for 15 minutes before you start cooking this dessert though soaking is not compulsory in other dishes with quinoa.
