Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- Ā½ tsp black pepper powder
- Ā½ tsp red chilli powder
- Ā½ tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- Rinse quinoa under cold water in a strainer. Repeat this 3-4 times. Without rinsing, quinoa can have a bitter taste.

- 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!
