Daddo 'Quinoa' like Daddojanam / Quinoa in tempered yogurt



Here is another quinoa recipe.
I am a big time fan to daddojanam or curd rice as it is called. So there was no way I could stop myself from trying this recipe with quinoa. Since I am liking the taste and texture of quinoa with our Indian style, I went ahead and made this.
I loved it truly. It was a nice ending to my meal. Healthy and guilt-free, full of protien and energy! What do you say?

Serve 2

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Quinoa, washed 3 times

1/2 onion, chopped
2 green chillies, chopped
1/2 - 3/4 cup yogurt

1/4 tsp urad daal
1/4 tsp jeera or cumin seeds
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
pinch of asfoetida, hing, inguva
1 dry red chilli, broken
1/2 tsp grated ginger
few curry leaves
coriander leaves, chopped
chopped carrot or grated for garnish
salt to taste
1 tsp oil

Method:

Wash and cook quinoa with about 3 times the water, until soft and fluffy.
After cooked, mix with yogurt.
Heat oil for tempering.
Add the urad daal, jeera and mustard seeds. Let the splutter.
Add the red chilli, asfoetida and curry leaves.
Add in the ginger along with onions and green chillies. saute for couple of minutes.
Add this to the quinoa in yogurt. Add salt to taste.
Mix in the chopped coriander leaves and grated carrot for garnish.
If you like it sour, add few drops of lemon juice.
Serve chilled. Enjoy!!!
