- Fresh Coriander (Dhania) Leaves, chopped
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
- Next, add the cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, and green chilies. Sauté for a few seconds.
- Add the chopped shallot along with a pinch of salt and sauté gently until the shallots turn translucent.
- Stir in the chopped vegetables—carrot, beans, corn, and peas—and cook on medium heat until they are halfway cooked.
- Add the chopped tomato, mix well, and sauté for another couple of minutes.
- Stir in the coriander powder and garam masala, followed by the quinoa. Sauté for a few minutes to allow the spices to blend.
- Add 2 cups of water and adjust salt according to taste. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the quinoa cook completely. The quinoa will absorb all the water.
- Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the Quinoa Vegetable Khichdi warm. It pairs wonderfully with Lehsuni Pudina Chutney and a refreshing Apple, Kiwi, Pineapple Juice.
