     Before starting with my today's recipe, actually i must say this as "come back" recipe. Ok, Can you guess my recent craze ??!! Can u ??!! No !! How do u know, if i came back after very big 2 years gap. True, let myself tell. Its MILLETS. Yes, just started with quinoa (actually its not a millet though) and barnyard millet. Ofcourse, lot more millets in queue. With this note, tried a very quick, tasty dish - QUINOA TOMATOBATH.

ALL YOU NEED:

Quinoa	1 cup
Water	3 cups
Chopped Onion	1 No.
Chopped Tomato	2 Nos.
Chopped Garlic	5 Nos.
Chopped Ginger	1 inch
Turmeric Powder	Pinch
Coriander Leaf	1/2 cup
Chilly Powder	1 sp
Green Chilly	2 Nos.
Mint Leaf	1/2 cup
All Spices*	1 sp
Mustard	1 sp
Salt	To taste
Ghee	1 sp
Oil	3 sps

*All Spices includes Cinnamon, Cardamon, Fennel seeds, Cumin seeds and Cloves.

METHOD:
     Soak Quinoa for more than 30 to 35 mins. Wash and drain the water. Take a pan, as i have taken 1 cup of quinoa, pour 3 cups of water (1:3 ratio) and pinch of salt. Cover it with lid. Let it cook until it absorbs all the water, which will take approximately 15 to 18 mins.
     Keep a wide pan, add a spoon of ghee and 3 spoons of oil. Once it gets heated, add mustard. When it splutters, add all spices, slited green chilly, coriander leaf, mint leaf, chopped garlic and ginger. Saute for 3 mins. Now add chopped onions, saute for 4 mins. Now add chopped tomato, turmeric powder, red chilly and required salt. Saute well until it oil oozes out. Simmer the flame. Now add the cooked quinoa, mix well with the mixture. Adjust with salt. Garmish with coriander leaf as a final touch.

Note: You can substitute Quinoa with any kind of cooked millets and rice.
