My healthy twist of #Quinoa. Yeast meets West. This is a fusion recipe.

When I feel like having something tangy spicy and easy and simple soulful meal, then I think of Curd Rice. In my Recipe I have given a healthy twist by using Quinoa. This goes best with chunky Sweet and Sour Date Chutney and fried Chilli. This recipe origination is from South of India with the mix of Western ingredients.
