Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • ½ tsp black pepper powder

  • ½ tsp red chilli powder

  • ½ tsp cumin powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 medium broccoli crown, chopped

Directions

  • Rinse quinoa under cold water in a strainer. Repeat this 3-4 times. Without rinsing, quinoa can have a bitter taste.
  • Now heat a saucepan on medium heat and add 2 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt and ½ tsp oil. Bring water to a boil. Then, pour the quinoa and chopped broccoli into the water and cover with a lid, and set to low heat.
  • When the quinoa and broccoli are cooked, drain the water and set them aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or kadhai over low-medium heat. Add garlic and onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly golden.
  • Now add the spices and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes and then add mushrooms and broccoli. Cover with a lid and cook until mushrooms and broccoli are cooked and softened.
  • Finally, add the cooked quinoa to the veggie mix and combine everything well. Turn off the heat, serve fresh and enjoy!
