WHAT IS QUINOA?
Quinoa is a 7000-year-old ancient seed (yes, it’s not a grain but a seed) that originated in the mountains of South America. It’s best known for its nutrition. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) has become quite the trendy grain over the past few years. It is also a gluten-free carb and is a must-have for energy. It’s a great source of vegetarian protein (over 5 grams per serving) and also contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. These Quinoa & lentil Vada/ fritters will definitely become your family favorite recipe. The dish is usually complimented with chutney and/ or with Instant pot idli sambhar. Try this recipe for your breakfast, a quick snack or even your dinner menu.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO COOK QUINOA?
You can cook quinoa in water, but for more flavor, you can cook it in vegetable broth. While quinoa is perfectly fine on its own, it also pairs quite well with the addition of other ingredients, such as beans, roasted or sauteed vegetables, or your favorite fresh herbs. It cooks quickly and even quicker in a Pressure cooker – 1 minute + Natural release and the end result is a bowl full of fluffy perfectly bloomed Quinoa.here is the link to cook perfect quinoa
Crispy on the outside and perfectly soft and pillowy (yes i know this is not a word.. however i did not find a suitable word that could compare the softness) in the inside. Though it appears like a snack or appetizer, it would be perfect to devour it for breakfast or dinner.
