    Blogging Marathon# 48: Week 1/ Day 1

    Theme: Nashta Time

    Dish: Quinoa Palli Upma

    We are starting a brand new edition of 'Blogging marathon' for this year today and my theme for this week is 'Nashta/ Tiffin Time'. Nashta is a hindi word that can mean breakfast or an evening snack. To me, it is a light meal taken either in the morning or in the evening to sustain you until lunch.

    For the first day, I made quinoa upma with peanuts and potato. Recipe is adapted from Vegetable Platter. This dish is made almost like sabudana upma, but uses quinoa instead of sabudana/ sago/ tapioca pearls. Adding coarsely ground peanuts and boiled potato make it taste very much like the original sabudana khichdi.

    Recipe adapted from here:

    [wpurp-searchable-recipe]Quinoa khichdi with Peanuts (Sabudhana Khichdi Style)Quinoa, Potato - medium, boiled and diced, Roasted Peanuts - , coarsely ground, Onion - small, chopped, Green Chilies - slit, Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds, Dry Red Chili, Curry leaves, Lemon/ Lime juice - (optional), Salt, Combine quinoa and 2cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat and cook covered for 18~20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and quinoa is cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.; Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan, add mustard and cumin seeds. Once the seeds start to splutter, add the dry red chili and curry leaves. Next add onions and green chilies, saute till onions turn translucent.; Next add the potato and cook for 2~3 minutes.; Stir in the cooked quinoa, salt and lemon juice (if using). Mix well and cook for 3~4 minutes.; Finally add the ground peanuts, mix well and turn off the heat. Serve hot with a pickle on the side, if desired.; [/wpurp-searchable-recipe]

      Using quinoa in khichadi instead of sabudana is a great idea. No fans of quinoa in my house but I should try it for myself.
