Steps to make Chicken curry with quinoa (gluten free):
- Prepare your ingredients for the kari. If possible, use whole spices and grind them using mortar and pestle. This gives more flavor to your dish compared to the already grinded spices. In the end, all spices used must be grinded into powder either way.
- Prepare your ingredients for the quinoa side dish.
- Start with quinoa. I’ve used one cup of quinoa, which equals to almost 250g.
- Unless properly washed, quinoa can be bitter after cooking. To avoid this, wash it properly with a boiling water – I needed approx. 1 liter.
- Add washed quinoa into a pot and add 2.5x more water than the volume of quinoa. I’ve used 1 pot of quinoa, hence 2.5 pots of cold water.
- Add the heat until the water in the pot starts boiling. Then turn down the heat and let the water to simmer. It takes 15-20 minutes.

- Add onions into the spicy olive oil and saute for 3-5 minutes until onions diminish in size.

- Add 1 sliced pepper and 4 cloves of garlic. Mix together.
- Add 1 can tomato puree and mix together.
- Add 2 spoons of sugar – I’ve used the coconut flower sugar.
- Add sliced leeks and cut carrots and mix well together.
