Quinoa has become a part of our regular diet nowadays, I have started replacing rice with it in many of our dishes. Even if I am not preparing a special dish with it, we mix it (instead of rice) with dal or sambar. I made this simple but yummy combination of quinoa with beetroot, if you like beetroot rice or curry, then you should definitely give this a try..

Note
Can cook the peas separately and add it at the end, to retain its green color.
Can garnish with some roasted cashews or peanut for an extra crunch.
Do not overcook the quinoa, otherwise the dish would turn mushy.
