Would love to see some salad with couscous and bulgar next. I generally prefer those iver quinoa too haha.
And maybe one with barley, I have some in the house but not experimented much with it
and toast it in the pan before boiling.
Never cook quinoa in water, always cook it in vegetable broth, adding onion & garlic powder, salt & pepper and a bit of cayenne. Tastes great by itself
Quinoa tasting like sand sounds odd to me: it's always tasted chewy rather than gritty to me.
Poor quinoa 🙁
My mom makes a great quinoa and rajma
I have made this already and PEOPLE, this is how quinoa should live. It is a total gamechanger, SO good. I always ate it cuz I 'should'. Never excited, EVER. This will be back in my rotation for sure! Loved watching the process video on this! Thank you Nisha!
I’m surprised about those headlines about people not liking quinoa. I learned to like it when I used it to make a tabbouleh salad instead of using wheat.
At any rate, I am very grateful for your wonderful recipes . ❤🙏🏻🌞
“It’s been 84 years” 😂
Love quinoa for all of it’s benefits. I’ve been “toasting” it in a skillet before boiling. I may have the try baking it!
The nutrition profile of quinoa changes significantly when roasted, yes?

You are so funny and fun to watch😘
Red quinoa is much better❣️
i like boiled quinoa with salad but i fully understood why so many people hate it when i saw that they made it with a 2:1 ratio of water:quinoa 😭 i never knew it was a thing because my package said 1.5:1 so i just followed that
Wait, I never thought that quinoa tasted bad, what am I doing wrong lol?
Love your channel and videos. I've been eating quinoa for about forty ++ years now and sometimes I'll toast it before I cook it but haven't ever after I've cooked it. Some folks will like the crunch, I'm not a crunch person and love my quinoa softer with the little bite it provides. So many ways to cook it and love it! Try juicing some carrots or apples and add some of the juice to the quinoa water… yummy! You dear girl, are hot and crunchy in your flavor palette. 😊 Said with kindness and admiration.
This looks AMAZING!
Interesting. I've always toasted my quinoa, but BEFORE I boiled it, then basically made a pilaf. I also like the tri-colour quinoa better.
This looks so good! Toasted quinoa is my new favorite thing. Gonna make this next week. I'm not vegan but I'm addicted to your recipes. Also yay you have sponsors now!
This, along with your aquafaba brownies, looks about like the best meal you could ever eat. 😋
so yummy, gotta try this one
Thank you for introducing me to an interesting and new way of eating Quinoa. I hated Quinoa for all the reasons you mentioned but I love what you did. You made it toasted and you mixed it with chick peas and vegetables which is something I love sooo when and if I try it I will let you know what I think about this recipe. This was an enjoyable video to catch a new way of enjoying Quinoa.
How to make pickled onions at home?
Making this for dinner tomorrow!
I am not going to lie, I had given up on ever liking quinoa.
But this looks delicious, so I'm making this next week!
I break up dried shiitake mushrooms – and throw them in the boiling water, along with a vegetable stock cube, garlic, tamari, ginger, roasted sesame seeds, black pepper, and a bit of olive oil. This combination elevates the blah flavor of quinoa…to yummy! 😋
Pomegranate molasses reminds me of Helen Rennie!
Game changer
My mom made Kichari using quinoa instead of rice.
When making quinoa I toast it before adding water to the pot. I look forward to seeing how different baked quinoa is.
