white.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">It is recommended to soak quinoa in water for at least an hour, this will remove the phytic acid content in it &amp; will make it easier for digestion &amp; also removes the bitter saponin coating.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After soaking in water, take the quinoa in a strainer &amp; rinse under running water till the water turns clear.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the soaked &amp; rinsed quinoa to a saucepan, add water &amp; salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook covered for 15 minutes over medium heat till the quinoa has turned soft &amp; the water has dried off.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I find 15 minutes of cooking makes the quinoa soft &amp; it will have a crunchy texture.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let the cooked quinoa cool down.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Take 1 1\/2 cups cooked quinoa in a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Take 2 cups yogurt in a bowl &amp; using a whisk beat the yogurt well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the beaten yogurt to the cooked quinoa, combine well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add 1\/2 tsp more salt, combine well &amp; keep it aside.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let&#8217;s make the tadka or tempering, this is a must add, will greatly enhance the taste &amp; imparts a nice aroma to the curd quinoa.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a small frying pan over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add coconut oil let turn hot.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add mustard seeds, let splutter.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add chana dal &amp; urad dal, fry till they turn golden in color; don&#8217;t burn the dals.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add dried red chilies &amp; curry leaves, saute for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Immediately, pour the tadka over the curd quinoa.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I also add 1 tsp pure sesame oil, this is optional.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I love the taste &amp; aroma of sesame oil.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">While serving, combine everything well &amp; enjoy with pickle &amp; pappad.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Absolutely comforting, healthy &amp; delish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3251<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My favorite dish with quinoa&#8230;
