Quinoa Salad with chicken pepper fry

Cook quinoa same as you would cook rice (1-part Quinoa with 2 parts of water. Boil for 15 -20 mins until soft).

Stir fry veggies (mushrooms, broccoli, carrots and green beans) on high flame with 5 gm oil. Do not overcook veggies. Reduce flame add cooked quinoa and stir for 2 mins. Switch off the flame and keep it aside.

Put 5 gm oil in a pan. Add cumin, mustard and chopped up curry leaves. Add onion, garlic and ginger paste (the paste lets you cook faster without any need for oil). Cook on medium flame for 2-3 mins. Add chicken breast cubes. Stir for 2 mins, add 1 table spoon of black pepper (I am normally quite generous with it – the more the better!). You can also add 1 table spoon of chicken masala (optional). Add green chilies and sir fry for another 2 mins. Finally add one table spoon of garam masala. Cook till chicken is done. It would not take more than 6-10 mins for chicken to cook.
