Quinoa Khichadi is a quick and healthy alternative to the regular rice khichadi. This one-pot meal is easy to cook, nutritious and flavourful. Quinoa is gluten-free  and is also a good source of protein as well as  several other minerals. I have served this delicious Khichadi with cooked Beetroot raita, sweet lime pickle, salad and papad.

Food for the Soul indeed
