Our Diwali Greetings to one and all!!
This salad is for Day 4 of Srivalli's Blogging Marathon - Edition 9. Also check what my fellow marathoners are upto.
Ingredients -
Quinoa 1/2 cup
Water 1 cup
Tofu cubed 1 cup
Curry Powder 1 tsp
Salt as needed
Pepper as needed
Chilli Powder as needed
Lemon Juice as needed
Carrots grated 3 Tbsp
Tomatoes finely chopped 3 Tbsp
Coriander leaves chopped 1 Tbsp
Oil 1 tsp
Yogurt (optional) as needed
Method Of Preparation -
Wash quinoa and in a heated sauce pan, add 1 cup of water and quinoa and let it boil.
Cover and cook for about 15 min more or until the quinoa is cooked.
Spread the quinoa on a plate to cool.
While the quinoa is cooking, marinate the cubed tofu by sprinkling curry powder and salt. Set aside for 5 min.
In a heated wok/kadai, add oil and saute the marinated tofu until they are crisp and brown. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the cooled quinoa, grated carrot, finely chopped tomato, chopped coriander, salt, pepper, red chilli powder and squeeze in lemon juice.
Mix well and garnish with the curried tofu.
Serve with a dollop of Yogurt/Curds and enjoy the healthy plate of salad!! [I found that the salad itself was a little dry and so I served it with a little yogurt!]
