Ingredients




3/4 cup of quinoa
1/2 cup of peas
1 lime
1 spring onion
1 small tomato
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 cloves of fresh green garlic (along with the green stem)
Coriander to garnish
10 black pepper corns

Preparation

1 In a pot, put about 1.5 cups (twice as much as the quinoa) of water, and the quinoa and boil for 10-15 minutes. I had only frozen peas, and so added them in as well - which was a mistake, coz the peas have lost their right green color, this way. I'd add the peas in last along with the other veggies, the next time. 2 Add the juice of half a lime and the curry powder when the pot first comes to a boil. Mix well. 3 Chop the tomatoes, spring onion and garlic. 4 Turn off the heat after 15 minutes max. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the veggies. Mix well. 5 Add the black pepper powder and coriander to garnish along with the remaining lime juice. 6 Pix at http://rawgirlinmumbai.blogspot.com/2010/12/lemony-quinoa-and-pea-pilaf.html
