Step:
Take quinoa in a strainer and wash in runny water for 2 minutes to remove the slight bitterness of quinoa seeds. I have taken boiled quinoa. Heat the oil in a kadhai. Add mustard seeds and allow it to splutter. Then add cumin seeds, urad dal and. chana dal, hing powder and saute in low flame till golden.
Then add onion, curry leaves, chilli. Stir and saute for in low flame,till the onions become translucent. Add grated ginger and hing and mix well. Then add the finely chopped veggies, salt and sambar masala, mix well and cook till soft.
Now add cooked quinoa. Saute for 2 minutes in low flame. Bring down from flame and mix lemon juice. Colorful, fluffy and yummy quinoa upma is ready. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve. Thanks
Note:- To cook fluffy quinoa I took 2 cups of water for 1/2 cup of washed quinoa and let it simmer in a kadhai for 20 minutes.
Sambhar masala powder enhances the taste.
