- 2 tablespoon Ghee
- 1 small onion sliced,

- Some Green Peas (Optional)

Preparation:
Place the quinoa fine-mesh strainer and rinse until the water runs clear. Melt the ghee in a medium saucepan. Add onion, ginger garlic paste, garam masala and sautee. Add the quinoa stir and pan fry for 2 mins. Now add the stock or water along with whole green chilies, green peas and salt. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season to taste.
