Quinoa Puliyogare/Quinoa Pulihora/Tamarind Quinoa

You can dish out many ultimate dishes with Quinoa, this grain is very versatile and you can replace this grain very well where we use rice. You have so many ways to add this quinoa in our daily diet. Easy to cook, quinoa can be prepared very much well in our Indian cuisine with our spices. And my today's post proves it well. Last sunday, i was not in mood to prepare something special,actually i felt like having something spicy and tangy. Hence i couldnt stop myself to prepare this incredible fusion dish. Actually Pulihora/Puliyogare/Puliyodharai is usually prepared with rice and tamarind sauce aka pulikachal.I have already posted this tangy Pulikachal/Tamarind Rice paste here, since i had this paste in my fridge, i quickly prepared this ultimate dish easily with less efforts.

Though i prepared this tangy quinoa puliyogare for our lunch, this dish can be prepared very much well for dinner. Am running this week's blogging marathon with Vegetarian dinner ideas as theme. Needless to say that this lipsmacking fusion pulihora makes an excellent dinner. Since this grain is rich in protein, this delicious quinoa pulihora will definitely please anyone's tastebuds. If you have storebought tamarind rice paste, you can prepare this same dish easily as well. Give a try and do let me know.
