Risotto is rice dish of Italian cuisine cooked with starchy short grain rice called Arborio and broth until it's creamy and luscious. The broth can be of Vegetables, Meat or Fish. In this one, I have used Vegetable seasoning cube instead. And have blended in fresh mixed Vegetables for a more creamier texture with Red Quinoa.

The Innovative twist by me using Red Quinoa along with a horde of healthy Vegetables lending it an Indian style. The recipe is intact with not many changes except for the mixed Vegetables and the use of Red Quinoa making it absolutely flavourful.
Red Quinoa is a great option on any day. It's rich in Fiber and Protein along with a multitude of essential Vitamins and Minerals. Plus it also has higher content of antioxidants than the other variations of Quinoa that are good for Heart. Therefore this Red Quinoa can be everyone's favourite for their family's well-being.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
