Spicy Quinoa Rotti

Here is a good, healthy recipe for you all. As you know, Quinoa is a grain like edible seed, which contains essential amino-acids and is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and rich in dietary fibre too ( learnt over the internet). I heard that lot of people lost their weight after including Quiona in their daily diet. There are lot of dishes which can be prepared from Quinoa. This is my own recipe. I just gave it a try, it came out really good. I hope you will try this and enjoy!.
