Soya Quinoa Pulao is a very healthy and a filling meal. I find this Pulao a complete meal for those busy days when you just don't have time to cook, this is a wholesome meal you can feed your family. I am using combination of Quinoa and Rice to make this Pulao, you can totally make this recipe using just the Quinoa or just the Rice. I try to incorporate Quinoa into my Indian recipes and this recipe is a hit in my family. I serve this with some BOONDI RAITA and PAPAD. Bonappetit!!
