Rasam quinoa recipe, Quinoa recipes

Rasam quinoa is a comforting and delicious main dish prepared by adding hot rasam (basically Indian version of tomato pepper soup) onto cooked mashy quinoa topped with a dollop of homemade ghee to slurp. As season gets cold we are reminded of this rasam and we usually relish either with rice/ idli but have been getting queries if it goes well quinoa do thought why not share my version if rasam quinoa. There is even more easy version of rasam quinoa which my friends make just add all rasam ingredients in a cooker/ instant pot along with quinoa, tamarind extract and water. Pressure cook for 2 minutes and soupy rasam quinoa ready to slurp. I haven’t tried this version yet so cant really comment on it. In thus post I haven’t explained in detail my pepper rasam as I have already posted its recipe with video earlier for which you can find link below:

In this recipe and for the other quinoa recipes that I posted earlier I have been using white quinoa that I purchased from COSTCO. The speciality of this is that the quinoa is pre washed which saves our time. If you are looking to purchase it click on the link below:

How to make Rasam quinoa with step by step images

1. Heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, hing, curry leaves, ground powder, rasam powder and salt. Saute well until tomatoes get little soft. Now add ½ cup of thick tamarind extract and 2 ½ cups of water to it. Top it with chopped cilantro. Put the flame in medium then close the pot. When froth starts to form and when rasam boils a bit switch off the flame.
   
2. Wash and soak quinoa in water for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes drain the water and keep the quinoa side. Heat a pan add soaked quinoa along with 1 ½ cups of water. We want quinoa to be mushy. Allow it to cook well with lid on in medium flame. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes. When the quinoa looks cooked put off the flame and keep it aside.
   
3. In a bowl add cooked quinoa when it is hot, mash it well either with a spoon/ masher. Then add desired quantity of rasam and ghee to cooked quinoa. Mix well until combined. Serve it hot with pickle, potato roast or papad.
