Quinoa Dates Halwa / Pudding

#Navratrisatvikfood - How about trying out some different and healthy sweets for any festival or for an after-meal dessert? Then try this sugar free and guilt free halwa / pudding made of quinoa and dates. I have not added any artificial colour and I guess this type of halwa is generally not made or heard of.

Ingredient

1 cup

cooked quinoa

10-12

seedless dates, soaked in warm water for an hour

3 tbsp

ghee

2 tbsp

almond powder

2 tbsp

milk powder

1/4 tsp

cardamom powder

1 tsp

rose water

1 tbsp

chopped mixed nuts

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Blend the soaked dates into a puree and keep aside. Heat 2 tbsp. ghee in a pan and saute the quinoa for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients (except rose water & nuts).

* Step 2

Mix everything well and continue to stir fry on a low flame till it comes together and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Add the remaining ghee and mix well.

* Step 3

Switch off the flame and add the rose water. Transfer to a serving dish or set them in few silicone moulds. Set aside to cool before refrigerating them for an hour. Serve, garnished with the nuts.
