Quinoa Adai



Quinoa is a fantastic grain—high in protein, gluten-free, and a great source of fiber. Quinoa has become very popular these days due to its health benefits. I already posted Quinoa Uppuma, Quinoa Bisi Bela Bath recipes. Here you go the Nutritious and healthy adai.  This is the perfect food for weight loss, because of its low fat content and high fiber and protein.

Ingredients:
Parboiled rice            ¼ cup

Brown rice                 ¼ cup

Grated ginger              2 tbsp.
Asafetida (Hing)          1 tsp.
Curry leaves                few
Salt                           to taste.
Oil                           2 tbsp ( For making adai)

Method:
