Quinoa Rice Pudding With Turmeric Recipe
With ingredients like turmeric, quinoa and coconut milk, this pudding recipe is healthy and satiates your sweet craving
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.

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup Quinoa
- 2 cup Coconut milk

How to make Quinoa Rice Pudding With Turmeric Recipe
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.

I tinkered with this idea of writing a blog for many years. The fact that the cyber world has a plethora of culinary contributions from folks far more experienced than me made me question my own culinary capabilities. One day over a cup of coffee I was deep in thought and realized that I don’t have to write about my culinary expertise or the lack of it, but I can be myself and write about my very own culinary mishaps which somehow end up as edible serendipitous creations. Cooking is an iterative process; there is no recipe that is set in stone. We all develop a certain taste pallet over a period of time and seldom deviate from that so called culinary comfort zone. Having moved countries, rather reluctantly I tried to break out of that comfort zone and to my surprise discovered the plethora of tastes and cuisines that are out there. I love to take the dishes I grew up on and give them a quirky somewhat serendipitous twist, I say serendipitous because I don’t have a plan or recipe in mind – I decide to add few things together and let the culinary magic unfold.
