I have seen a lot of friends posting on Quinoa dosa and wanted to try. Then I thought why not make it just like regular idli. Just like Millet Idli, I made these idli’s and we absolutely did not feel the difference. I did make dosa with the remaining batter and turned out super awesome.

To check on how to make normal idli/dosa batter, cilck here.

For millets Idli, cilck here.

For some chutney recipe, check below

• Peanuts Chutney
• Celery Chutney
• Onion Chutney/Vengaya Chutney
• Ginger Chutney/Allam Pachadi
• Coconut Chutney
• Peerkangai Thol Thugayal/Ridge Gourd Skin Peel Chutney

Ingredients:

Quinoa: 1 cup

Idli Rice : 1 cup

Urad dal : 1/2 cup

Salt : as needed

Water : as needed

Method:

• Soak quinoa, idli rice together overnight.
• Soak urad dal for 1 hr.
• Grind urad dal to fine batter, place it in a bowl. Use little water to grind. Do not make it watery.
• Grind the quinoa and rice together and grind with little water, as it easily leaves a lot of water.
• Combine all of them together with around 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
• Mix well and ferment it overnight.
• Next day without mixing, grease idli plate and pour batter.
• Steam for 12 to 15 mins.
• Serve with any chutney or sambar.

After a day’s time, I added a bit more water and mix batter. Use this for Dosa. I forgot to take pics 🙂 will update the next time I prepare this dosa.

Quinoa Laddoo

Happy Deepavali to everyone 🙂 My celebrations would go less if I don’t have any laddoo 😛 So I was wondering which laddoo to prepare. For the usual mothichoor laddo I don’t have the laddle to prepare. So I decided to make something different. Here is Quinoa laddoo…Because of its gluten free nature, I couldn’t bind it at all. Then found the trick from here and these are the lovely healthy laddoo’s 😀

Ingredients:

Quinoa : 1 cup

Jaggery : 1/2 cup(can be replaced by sugar)

Ghee : 2 tablespoons

Water : 1 tablespoon

Milk : 1/4 cup (any kind I used whole milk)

Method:

1. If you have pre washed Quinoa proceed to step 3
2. If it is non pre washed Quinoa, wash it thoroughly for at least 4 to 5 times. Drain the water. Spread the quinoa seeds over a kitchen cloth and dry it inside home. (no directly sun drying) I left it for a days time.
3. Next grind quinoa to Suji/Semolina consistency.
4. Heat ghee in a pan. When it hot enough add the grinded quinoa and roast it in slow flame.
5. Roast till it turns nice golden brown and the raw smell goes off.
6. Stir continuously to get uniform roasting.
7. In another pan heat  jaggery with water till it dissolves.
8. Filter out for any impurities and mix with quinoa.
9. Warm up the milk and with the above.
10. Form a nice dough. As quinoa is gluten free, it does not hold together. So milk helps in binding.
11. Now form balls with it by applying little ghee in the palms.

Now quinoa laddoo is ready 🙂
