½ tbspn. of ginger-garlic paste
1 tspn. cumin seeds
1 bay leaf
2 cloves
¼ inch cinnamon
4 cups of water
Salt as per taste
Oil as required

METHOD:

Take a thick bottomed vessel or the pressure cooker, pour in some oil, once the oil is heated add the cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. Add the bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon and fry a bit.
Now add all the ginger garlic paste and chopped veggies, carrots, green beans, potatoes, green peas, orange and green peppers and fry well. Adding salt to the veggies will make them cook faster.
Add the chopped mint and coriander leaves and all the spices, chilli powder, garam masala, kitchen king masala and give it a good mix.
Now add 4 cups of water and allow it to boil. Taste the water and add the required spices as per your taste buds. Once the water is boiled add the quinoa brown rice and mix well.
Cover the lid and let it cook on medium flame for 4 whistles. Let the pressure cool down on its own. This makes the rice cook evenly with all the spices and gives out a nice flavor.
