Quinoa Puliodharai

Monday, January 17, 2011

Quinoa is gaining a lot of popularity among most blogs. It is super healthy and as I had already mentioned I love to substitute it for rice. I have posted quinoa with yogurt here and an Indianized quinoa salad here over the years. I have used quinoa in most varietes of rice and I must agree that it tastes awesome with puliodharai mix. I use 777 brand or MTR or a combination of both the brands in making quinoa puliodharai. It completely masks any smell that most people think quinoa has and keeps the taste perfect. So for all those who are always looking out for news recipes with quinoa, this one is sure to impress you.



Gadgets:

Wok
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Spatula


Ingredients:

Cooked Quinoa - 1 cup (1/3 cup quinoa cooked with 1 cup water)
Puodhari Mix MTR's or 777- 3 tbsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Asafoetida - a few shakes
Raw Peanuts - 1/4 cup
Curry Leaves - a few

Preparation:

1. In a wok add some oil and when it warms up add asafoetida and curry leaves.

2. Add peanuts and roast it.






3. Turn out the heat and add puliodharai mix and mix it well.






4. Add the cooked quinoa and mix well and serve hot.

Oh, this looks so delicious and different from anything I have already tried with quinoa. I am not familiar with puliodharai mix, but I will look for it so I can try kicking my quinoa Indian style.
