  • Now combine everything well.
  • In a pan add the oil and add the mustard seeds, green chili, urad dal, asafoetida, ginger and little coriander leaves.
  • Once the mustard splutters, add the curd chilis | mor milagai if adding.
  • Cook till the dal turns golden brown.
  • Now transfer this to the quinoa curd.
  • Mix well and garnish with grated carrot and few coriander leaves.
  • Serve chilled or enjoy immediately.
