Quinoa Pongal

Medium

Directions

Quinoa is a grain very high in protein and fiber. It
can be substituted in most of the dishes where rice is used. There is a nice
crunch to the dishes prepared with Quinoa. I had to cook and blog about a Tamizh
recipe for the letter Q and what else could I think of.:)
