Quinoa is a protein-packed food, with its nutty taste and chewy texture, is flavorful as well as filling. It is a low-cholesterol source of complex carbohydrates. I had tried different dishes with quinoa and one of my favourite dishes among them is quinoa cutlet. It was really flavourful and delicious. Other quinoa recipes are:
