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

4/5/2016

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.


Health Information
Because it contains complete protein, Quinoa is good for weight loss and it is good for people with diabetes.
