QUINOA-LENTILS SALAD/ QUINOA KHICHDI



       Quinoa is the new buzz for health junkies... But if you are at India, I would recommend trying this recipe with barnyard millet a.k.a., sanwa/ samo millet (follow the same recipe) as buying quinoa at India would burn your pocket. They cost around Rs.1600 a kg!!
Barnyard millet is commonly known as sanwa millet, samo, moriyo, jhangora, kuthiravali or vrat ke chawal in India. The tastes do differ. Quinoa has a crunchy texture and nutty taste whereas the barnyard millet tastes completely different, a bit bland. Go on with a tangy pickle or just squeeze on some lime drops..
