When it comes to healthy eating, quinoa is my absolute go-to (for the time being at least, my mood and taste bud’s changes with the season)! Whenever I’m trying to lose weight or trying to eat clean, this dish fits the bill perfectly. And trust me, I can have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

So today, I’m going to share my favourite. It’s simple, loaded with flavour, and features my secret ingredient—paneer (or you can use tofu as well)! Trust me, paneer takes the taste to a whole new level.

But first, let’s talk about why quinoa deserves a spot on your plate. Quinoa is a complete protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s also rich in fibre, gluten-free, and packed with vitamins and minerals. Whether you’re looking to shed some kilos or just eat healthier, quinoa is a powerhouse ingredient you should embrace.

This is my version of making quinoa because it’s easy and tastes yum. Also, it’s customizable—you can switch up the veggies according to whatever you have in your kitchen that time.

Start by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly. Add the rinsed quinoa and 3 cups of water to a pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the quinoa has absorbed all the water.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan. Add chopped bell peppers, baby corn, paneer and whatever veggies you want, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re slightly tender but still crunchy.

Add spices like salt, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the veggies. Stir everything and finally add the boiled quinoa. Cook for another 2-3 minutes so that everything is properly mixed. Serve it hot, since this is not the salad version.

If you’re looking for a dinner option that’s healthy without compromising on taste, this quinoa stir-fry is a winner. Plus, it’s so easy to make—you don’t have to be a master chef to pull this off.
