Quinoa equally you lot all aware is a superfood alongside immense wellness benefits. My piffling ones produce non consume quinoa salad or pulao or cooked quinoa. This was a peachy means to sneak inward the salubrious grain into their bodies! The destination upshot was that the masala dosa was delicious together with the kids didn't know the difference! They chomped away!
