Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 25 mins
Servings: 6-7
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Quinoa
2 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Urad dal
1 tsp Chana dal
1 small onion
1-2 Green chilies
1 Dried red chili
1/2 cup Mixed veggies
Coriander leaves (for garnishing)
1 tbsp Grated coconut
Salt to taste
Directions:
Wash the quinoa and soak well overnight.
The next day, cook the quinoa in 1 cup water until it swells. This should take about 15-20 mins. Tip: A good indicator that the quinoa is cooked, is the appearance of a white 'tail' around each quinoa grain.
Strain the excess water and keep the quinoa aside.
In a pan, add 3 tbsp olive oil.
To it, add 2 tsp mustard seeds.
When the mustard splutters, add 1 tsp urad dal, 1 dried red chili, 1 tsp chana dal.
Now add 1 small onion (chopped), and 1-2 green chilis
Add mixed veggies (I have used carrots, beans, peas and corn. But you can use any veggies you have on hand).
Cover and cook for 2 mins.
Now remove the lid and add the cooked quinoa.
Cover and cook for a couple of mins more.
Add 1 tbsp grated coconut (optional).
Mix well and serve hot!
