???? Let me know if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa and lentil recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
???? To cook the green lentils:
1/2 Cup / 100g GREEN Lentils (Washed/Soaked for 8 to 10 hours or overnight)
1 Teaspoon Salt (I have added pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
???? To Marinate the cooked green lentils:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Lemon juice OR TO TASTE
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
???? To cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Quinoa (Washed/Soaked for 30 minutes)
2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup / 135g Onion
1+1/2 Cup / 200g Carrots (2 medium size carrots)
1 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
3 Tablespoon Tomato paste OR TO TASTE
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/4 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1+1/2 Cup / 350ml Vegetable Broth (LOW SODIUM)
???? To Garnish:
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Parsley - chopped
1/4 Cup / 5g Mint OR TO TASTE - chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Wash & soak 1/2 cup of green lentils for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Once the lentils are soaked, drain the water and rinse it. Transfer the lentils to a pot. Add salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 4 minutes or until lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS. Right away strain the cooked lentils. Let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water and allow it to cool down. Once lentils have cooled, add lemon juice, olive oil and mix well. Allow the lentils to marinate while we continue with the rest of the cooking.
✅ ????Cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
Thoroughly wash 1 cup of quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for 30 minutes. ✅ ????After 30 minutes drain the water from quinoa and let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water.
To a heated WIDE PAN, add olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, 1/4 tsp salt and fry on medium to medium-high heat until it's slightly browned (about 5 to 6 minutes). ADDING SALT TO ONION/CARROTS RELEASES IT'S MOISTURE AND HELPS IT COOK FASTER, SO PLEASE DON'T SKIP IT. Add the garlic and fry on medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
✅ ????REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW BEFORE ADDING THE SPICES AND TOMATO PASTE TO PREVENT IT FROM BURNING.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and fry on low heat for only 1 to 2 minutes (no longer than that), just to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Add the quinoa, salt, vegetable broth. Turn up the heat and bring to a VIGOROUS BOIL. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked.
✅ ????DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME OF QUINOA ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. DO CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if still not cooked then cook for longer. It took me 20 minutes on my stove.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the lid and turn off stove. Add the cooked lentils, ground black pepper, red onions, parsley, mint & mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve hot with a side of green salad. Perfect for meal prep / meal planning as it stores well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Cooking time of lentils depends on it's quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the other and may require longer cooking time, SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
???? DON'T LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if its still not cooked, then cook for longer

Pepper Rice - Milagu Sadam - Brown Rice Pilaf - Stir Fried Rice - Brown Rice Recipe
Pepper Rice - Milagu Sadam - Brown Rice Pilaf - Stir Fried Rice - Brown Rice Recipe -
We make a lot of curries. Each time we make a fantastic curry, we make a simple stir fry of rice or millet. This way we get to eat something new and at the same time introduce you to a new recipe. Otherwise, pairing curries with the same old boiled rice or millet becomes boring. India being the spice capital, offers us a wide range of condiments to play with. In the past we showed you recipes such as turmeric rice, hara dhaniya pulao and the likes. This pepper rice is another valuable addition to our repository of pilafs and stir fried staples.
Making this pepper rice hardly takes any effort and it tastes great on its own. You can enjoy it as is or with any curry of your choice. Our pepper rice recipe will yield 2 servings, with 278 kilocalories in each.

Easy Vegetable Pulao recipe with Foxtail millet
#millet #milletrecipe #samai #pulao #food #lunch #siridhanya #shorts
Pulao - is a hearty and wholesome one-pot meal conventionally cooked with basmati rice.
Why not make it with our ancient grains - Foxtail Millets which are a powerhouse of nutrition.
OGMO unpolished siridhanya helps you eat good food without compromising on nutrition and saving you on the soaking time, as the grains are already washed, pre-soaked and solar dried.
Talk about WIN-WIN!!
Foxtail millet Pulao recipe;
Step 1 - Add 1 cup of OGMO Foxtail millet in a bowl and pour 1 cup of water in it. Keep it soaked till you prepare other ingredints.
Step 2- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker and add 1 chopped onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tsp. grated ginger, 2 red chilly, 1 chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Step 3 - Add vegetables (peas, carrot, French beans) and soaked Foxtail millet in it.
Step 4 - Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4th tsp. turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, a pinch of pepper powder and about 1 cup of water in it.
Step 5 - cook for 2 whistles and serve drizzled with extra ghee and raita.
Note;
Add any vegetables of your choice.
Foxtail millet pulao tends to become little dry. Add a few teaspoons of warm water or ghee to make it slightly wet.
You can add whole spices such as cinnamon leaf, cardamom pod, cloves to make it more flavorful.
Serve with papad, raita or bondi.
Foxtail Millet
Foxtail millets are the oldest cultivated millet. Foxtail millet is called Kangani in Hindi and Thinnai in Tamil.
These are non-acidic, non-allergic, and gluten free, which makes them soothing and easy to digest.
Foxtail millets are also rich in protein, fats, antioxidants, complex carbs, vitamins and minerals. This makes them complete food.
Why OGMO Foxtail Millet
1. The minor millets are already soaked for 8 hours, solar dried and powdered, thus saving you loads of time and the trouble of soaking, drying and powdering the same.
2. We use Unpolished millet which is much healthier option than the processed and polished millet.
