This is a recipe I put together after many failed trials making quinoa. When I tried making quinoa based on different recipes, I didn’t really like the taste. Then I tried to mix and match with different ingredients and came up with this combination, which I like far more than anything I’ve tried before.

Ingredients

• Quinoa —————————- 1 cup
• Mixed vegetables ———- 1 cup
• Cooked chickpea ———– 1 cup
• Mushroom ———————- 1 cup (diced)
• Chili powder ——————- 1/4 tsp
• Turmeric powder ———— 1/4 tsp
• Cooking oil ———————- 1 tsp
• Salt to taste

Note: Instead of cooked chickpea, we can use canned chickpea. Also I used frozen mixed vegetable here, but we can use fresh vegetables too.

How to make

• Boil 1 1/2 cups of water in a pan
• Wash the quinoa and add it to the boiling water
• Add a pinch of salt to it
• Quinoa will be cooked in 7 to 10 minutes

• 

• In the meantime, place another pan on medium heat
• Add a tsp of oil and add the mushroom
• Cook it for 3 minutes
• Add the vegetables and cook for 5 more minutes
• Add the chili and turmeric powders and little salt
• Then add the cooked chickpea and mix them well

• Now add the cooked quinoa and mix all well blended
• Switch off the stove and it should be ready to serve
