Quinoa Broccoli Curry

This recipe is a very poor adaptation of Cauliflower-Quinoa curry from Vegetarian Times magazine. I didn’t have cauliflower on hand and didn’t want to use peas since the dish was too green already. I also didn’t have too much time to make it, so this is my super quickie version. Quinoa helps thicken the curry and also substitutes rice in this dish.

Ingredients:
Cooked Quinoa – 2 cups, cooked according to package directions (I had some leftover in the fridge)
Broccoli – 1 large head, chopped into florets
Curry powder – 3 tbsp (I used MTR brand Madras Curry powder)
Yogurt – 2 tbsp
Fennel Seeds – ¼ tsp
Cumin Seeds – ¼ tsp
Salt and Chili powder – to taste


Method:
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp oil on medium heat, add the seeds and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add the curry powder and keep stirring for another 30 seconds.
  • Add 1 cup water (or vegetable broth); cover and bring to a boil.
  • Add broccoli florets; cover and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes or until fork tender.
  • In a small bowl, whisk yogurt with the broth and stir in with broccoli. Add the quinoa, salt and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until water is completely evaporated.
Serve hot or at room temperature. Very healthy and nutritious.
