Quinoa blends well with South Indian meals. Quinoa is nutrient-dense, rich in protein and fiber. It is significantly low in Glycemic index and controls blood sugar well. It won’t spike the sugar rapidly.

I always used to add cooked quinoa to my salads. Then I slowly replaced it with rice. As a family, we started enjoying quinoa with our South Indian dishes. To start with, you can replace rice with Quinoa when making Ven pongal, kichidi, Curd rice, and bisibele bath.
