Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon big onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 small sized tomato roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli paste
  • 1 small sized carrot roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • pepper powder, oregano just for topping - optional

Instructions

  • Get ready with your ingredients. Get the chopping done.
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add jeera once it crackles add garlic and onion, sauté for a minute then add tomato. Sauté until raw smell leaves.
  • Add red chilli paste, required salt and sauté for few mins.
  • Add drained quinoa, give a quick mix then add water.
  • Pressure cook for 4 whistles in medium flame. Adjust with water if it is too thick then boil for a minute then switch off. Serve Quinoa Soup hot!

Notes

  • You can replace red chilli paste with red chilli powder too.
  • The water quantity I have given was apt as we wanted a thin soup. Adjust as per your preference.
  • I added pepper powder and oregano while serving.
