Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa (or kodo millet as substitute)
  • 21/2 cups water
  • Vegetables
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups chopped cauliflower
  • 2 small potatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp finely chopped green chilli
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 21/2 tsp rock salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped coriander

Method

  1. Heat a pot. Add the quinoa along with 21/2 cups of water. Allow it to cook on low flame until the quinoa absorbs the water. Add more water if required.
  2. Heat another pot, add 1 cup of water, cauliflower, potatoes, and green peas. Cook on medium flame until the vegetables become soft.
  3. Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to the pot with quinoa and stir well.
  4. Add the ginger, green chilli, and thyme to the same pot and stir well.
  5. Switch off the stove. Add the coconut milk, salt, and lemon juice. Stir and cover for 5 minutes.
  6. Top with coriander, stir well, and serve immediately.

Tip: Quinoa is technically a seed but digests like a grain. Thyme and coriander together create an unusually refined flavour for a simple bowl.

Highlights: High in vitamin C and magnesium.
