Heat some oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add the cinnamon, star anise, black pepper, crushed cardamom pods, bay leaf and sumach. Stir for about a minute

Then, add tomato juice, sugar and water. Bring mixture to a boil and add thawed peas and rinsed quinoa

Cook for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more water if needed. When quinoa is cooked, add salt, chili flakes and turmeric. At this point, the dish will look like a stew, so turn off the heat and cover with a lid for 15 minutes. Enjoy :)
