Quinoa Rice with Parwal Stir-Fry 🌱

Chef Uma’s plant-based experiment continues.

Tried quinoa for the first time today.
Went with a simple approach — 50% quinoa, 50% rice — cooked it the same way we do rice in the Thermomix.

Honestly… it came out really nice. Better than I expected.

Paired it with a stir-fry curry using frozen parwal (pointed gourd).
Light, clean, and surprisingly satisfying.

What I’m learning through this journey —
plant-based cooking is not just about removing meat, it’s about understanding texture, balance, and how flavours come together.

Still experimenting. Still learning.
But this one worked 👍
