Some recipes are quite simple and I normally assume everyone knows it. That assumption is probably wrong because everyone starts cooking from basics and I had been wanting to post basics like cooking rice for pulao, preparing particular vegetables and so on. I am resuming the series with cooking quinoa.
Quinoa is very healthy and I have started experimenting with it only in the past few months. I have a lot of plans in mind to replace rice with quinoa in some dishes and I am slowly getting to those. For now, most of the recipes involve using cooked quinoa and that is where this post comes into the scene. Off to the easy recipe.
