QUINOA PILAF
Everyone of us are very much aware of including grains in our diet. So making them colorful and tastier is very important right. Today I am posting a simple and tastier pilaf using quinoa. Other than making salad in quinoa this is quiet wonderful option of making pilaf too. I have used black quinoa but you can adopt same with white and brown too. Happy healthy eating!!!!!!
