Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Rinse and Cook the Quinoa

Rinse quinoa under running water for a minute to remove bitterness. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa and salt, then cook covered on low heat until all water is absorbed. Fluff it with a fork to keep the grains separate. Set aside to cool while preparing the masala.
