Quinoa Payasam


Q is one such difficult letter to find out a Tamil recipe so decided to use a clause quick.But somehow I was not comfortable to use the clause.Finally made up my mind to use Quinoa and make payasam.
Since quinoa is not an Indian/Tamil ingredient,I added some moong dhal along with it.Also the addition of moong dhal makes the payasam more rich and tasty.
Couple of months back I made  payasam only with quinoa and regular milk with sugar.My son who loves sweet gave me a weird reaction after eating the sweet..But after making it along with moong dhal,everybody liked it.I made this payasam for the Tamil New Year,last week.Off to the recipe........
