  • When cumin seeds start to splutter add chopped onions followed by green peas, chopped beans, chopped carrots, corn and yellow or green bell peppers.
  • Saute all the vegetables for 3-4 minutes on medium heat while stirring them so they do not burn.
  • Now add washed or dry quinoa to the pan and once again saute these together for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add salt to taste, red chilli powder and garam masala powder to the pan followed by coriander leaves, mint leaves, and 400 ml of water.
