I have been looking for some healthy and tasty alternatives to rice as rice is full of refined carbs. Whole grains that have not been refined are considered complex carbohydrates, and are heathy to eat. "QUINOA" is called a supergrain. It is a great alternative to rice for rice lovers like me. It is very nutritious and can supply us with all of the body's requirements: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Cook 1cup of Quinoa as per instructions on the box and let it cool. Fluff it with a fork and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin and mustard seeds. when they start spluttering add 2 green chillis, 1tbsp urad dal, 1tbsp chana dal, 1/2tsp turmeric, 1tbsp peanuts/cashews, few curry leaves, few cloves of garlic chopped. After frying for some time add this mixture to cooled Quinoa. Add lemon juice and salt. Garnish with corriander leaves and serve at room temperature.
