Tips for Making Curry Quinoa with Almonds and Cranberries:

  • Use a good quality curry powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • Toast the quinoa before cooking it. This will give it a nutty flavor and make it more digestible. To toast the quinoa, simply heat it in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Use vegetable broth instead of water to cook the quinoa. This will add more flavor to the dish.

  • Serve the curry quinoa with your favorite toppings. Some suggestions include yogurt, cilantro, and lime wedges.
