PUFFED QUINOA KANDA POHA STYLE



 Poha is not available in Brazil. So I tried out puffed quinoa in the same way and it turned out very delicious. I made it plain without adding potato like we do in kanda poha. For variation you can add boiled vegetables like peas, carrots, beans or potato which is usually done.

Ingredients:
Puffed quinoa ... 3 cups
Onion .............. 1 small (chopped finely)
Green chillies ..... 1-2 (chopped finely)
Crushed ginger ... 1/2 tsp (optional)
Grated ginger ..... 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder .. 1/8 tsp
Cumin powder ...... 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder ... 1/4 tsp
Salt ................. to taste
Lemon juice
Coriander leaves ... handful
Oil

For tempering:
Mustard seeds ... 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds ..... 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida ........ a pinch
Curry leaves ...... few

Method:
1. Wash the puffed quinoa in a colander under running water. Set it aside.
2. In a pan heat a little oil and add the tempering ingredients.
3. When they crackle, add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger and green chillies. Saute for a minute or two and add all the dry spice powders and salt.
4. Tip in the quinoa from the colander and mix gently.
5. Squeeze a little lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot.
This makes a good breakfast dish or an evening snack.
