Ingredients
Produce
Pantry
- 1/2 cup Flattened Rice flattened rice, soaked and drained
- 30 gm Peanuts
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1-2 tsp Salt to taste
- 1-2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Boil the quinoa and peas together until the quinoa is cooked through and the peas are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. This releases their aromatic flavor.
- Add the green chilies and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. This softens the onion and develops its sweetness.
- Add the chopped carrots and green beans to the pan. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- Add the peanuts to the pan and sauté for a minute until lightly toasted.
- Stir in the turmeric powder and coriander powder. Sauté for 30 seconds to bloom the spices, enhancing their flavor.
- Gently fold in the cooked quinoa and peas, followed by the soaked and drained poha. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Add salt to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Quinoa Poha hot and enjoy!
