How to make fluffy Quinoa-Anti Diabetes & Good for Weight Loss

Quinoa is a complete protein. It contains all the essential amino acids. Learn how to make a fluffy quinoa. If you are using quinoa for a substitute for rice and eat with dal, curry and yogurt it is ok to be mushy and sticky. But not when you are making salad. For a good salad you need a fluffy quinoa.

Ingredients
1 cup of whole quinoa
1&1/2 cups of water. If you prefer a mushy and sticky quinoa use 2 cups of water.
1/2 tsp ghee or oil.

Procedure
Measure 1 cup of quinoa into a thick bottom pan and fry on medium heat with 1/2 tsp of  ghee for a minute. Then add 1&1/2 cups of water and stir it once. When it comes to a boil, which will be almost immediately,  bring down the flame to low and cover with a lid. Cook this for about 12-15 minutes. In my case it took me 13 minutes.
By then all the water should be evaporated. Quinoa seeds should look translucent and the germ should come out and looks like a ring around the seed. This indicates that the quinoa is well cooked. Switch off the flame. Fluff up the quinoa with a fork or spoon to let the steam out. This prevents further cooking. If you can transfer quinoa into another plate or bowl also prevents further cooking.
