Quinoa Pilaf Recipe

Ingredients:-

• 2 C quinoa
• 2 Tsp ghee
• 1 Tsp cumin seeds
• 1 Tbsp ginger, finely grated
• 1 green chili chopped
• 7-8 fresh curry leaves
• 2 C any fresh vegetables (except any beans and peas)
• 1½ Tsp salt 
• 5 C water

Method:-

1. Rinse the quinoa in cold water thoroughly until the water runs clear (to remove any bitterness). Drain the quinoa and keep aside.
2. Heat the ghee in a saucepan over moderate heat. Drop the cumin seeds and wait until the seeds darken a few shades. Add ginger, chili and curry leaves in succession, stir-fry for a while and add the vegetables. 
3. Saute the vegetables for 5 minutes. Add salt, quinoa and water. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the quinoa is soft. Serve hot with yogurt salad.
