Quinoa flakes upma is another recipe which I make for dinner. The upma from quinoa flakes is healthier and satisfies our dietary constraints. Earlier I remember it was very difficult to get these flakes. Now a days these are easily available in supermarkets or online stores. The cooking time for these quinoa flakes is much lesser than that of whole grains. We can cook this upma just like poha with the addition of onions and potato. Here I have cooked the no onion version with an addition of only fresh coconut.

I had never tried quinoa flakes before. This upma looks really good. Next time I see the flakes at the grocery store I will buy them and try it.

Upma with Quinoa flakes is a great option for the health conscious ones. I too will try to find quinoa flakes in store and use in recipes.Thanks for the share.

I am not sure if I have come across quinoa flakes but need to keep my eyes peeled next time I go shopping. The poha idea sounds great and is sure on the healthy side.
