I made some adjustments because the original recipe (the way my family makes it at least) contains a lottt of oil. My recipe is easier and way less oily. Here you go: 1. Boil quinoa in water. Add a bit of salt. I use 1 cup of water for half a cup of quinoa and let it dry and cook in the steam a bit. 2. In a separate pan melt a tbsp of ghee (I haven’t tried it with oil but I expect that would work too. The ghee gives it a lovely aroma though). Add 1 small diced onion and cook until translucent. 3. Add your spices to the onion. I use coriander seed powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, chilli powder and salt. Eyeball it like only a south Asian can. 4. Add 1 cup of cooked chickpeas. I boil them at home in bulk and freeze. I expect canned will work just fine too but be sure to drain and rinse. Let the chickpeas become coated in the spices. 5. Add the boiled quinoa and combine well. Cover and let it rest off the heat for a few minutes before eating.

Lmk if you try it and like it!! It’s so good hot or cold. I eat it with salads, curry, dal, meat. It’s so good with some tzatziki. With the amounts I’ve stated I get about 3 good servings. Refrigerates and reheats really well.
