Quinoa Pulao (Pilaf)
You will need:
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1 1/2 cups pure water
- 1 cup diced mixed vegetables of your choice (1/4 inch dice)
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground clove
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
- Rock salt to taste(optional)
- 1 tbsp ghee
Wash the quinoa thoroughly by rinsing it several times. Drain.
Heat a pan and roast the quinoa dry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add water and the diced vegetables, stir and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat and cook at a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes.
Heat ghee in a pan until clear. Add the powdered spices and stir briefly to release aroma and flavor. Remove from heat.
Stir in the salt and the ghee-spice mix into the quinoa.
Enjoy warm.
