Recipe Notes
Few pointers to make perfect fluffy Quinoa :
- Wash the seeds 2-3 times in running water to remove impurities.
- Always strain washed Quinoa using a fine sieve.
- Soak the washed seeds for 10-15 mins before cooking
- Always heat water before adding Quinoa.
- Cook on high flames till it comes to a boil then simmer the flames and cook with lid closed for 10-12 mins or until cooked.
- Add 1/2 tsp butter before turning off the flames and gently mix with a fork.
- Spread the cooked quinoa on a flat bottom tray/plate so that they don’t get sticky.
- 1 cup Quinoa + 2 cups water = 2 cups cooked Quinoa
