Quinoa Uthappam
In a mood to try another protein rich diet? Well, here is a super healthy quinoa uthappam for those who are conscious of what they eat and want to add some protein to their diet. If you are okay to have some rice in your meal, you may add half portion of quinoa and half portion of rice. And as mentioned earlier, you need to get used go these tastes. I can assure you
that once you get the hang of these stuffs, you would like it and enjoy these as much as you like the normal rice uthappam 🙂
I felt these are more like a savoury pancake or the Indian cheela. It pairs well with freshly ground coconut chutney. For more quinoa recipes, please do click here.
