Healthy meal in a few easy steps. Quinoa, the nutty grain, is rich in protein and fiber. Channa increases the protein of this delicious meal, while red capsicum gives a boost of anti-oxidants!
Ingredients
Red capsicum - 2
Quinoa - 1 cup
Cooked Channa - 1 cup
Water - 4 cups
Oil - 1 tbsp
Onions (finely chopped) - 1/2 cup
Ginger and Garlic (finely chopped) - 1 tbsp
Cilantro - 1 tbsp
Garam Masala - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Preparation
Rinse quinoa in cold water in a pan, boil with 2 cups of water in medium heat for 15 minutes. Drain excess water using a colander and rinse the boiled quinoa in cold water.
Boil another 2 cups of water in a larger pan. When the water begins to boil, place the colander containing quinoa on top of the large pan. The water in the pan must not touch the colander containing quinoa. Cover the top of the colander with thin cloth, and place a lid on top of the cloth. Let boil for 10 mins, turn of the stove, and fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork.
Heat oil in a pan, fry onion, ginger and garlic. Add cooked Channa, Garam masala, salt and cilantro. Let cook for 5 mins. Now add cooked quinoa, and mix the ingredients well. Turn off the stove, and let cool.
Take the capsicum and clean the inside using a knife. Place it in a large pan of boiling water for 10 mins. Drain excess water and set the cooked capsicum aside.
Use a spoon to fill each capsicum with the cooked quinoa. Serve as shown in the picture, along with Marinara (tomato and garlic flavor) sauce.
