Ingredients:

1/2 cup dry quinoa
1/4 cup split moong dal
1 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
pinch of asafoetida
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsp each finely chopped carrot and beans
1 tbsp green peas
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tsp finely chopped mint

2 gms

Methods:

Start by soaking the quinoa and moong dal in a bowl of water for an hour. Make sure you wash well and then drain the water.
Then in a 1.5 - 2 ltr small pressure cooker, heat a small amount of ghee. Add mustard seeds and a pinch of asafoetida and stir. Once the seeds splutter, add chilies, vegetables, and peas.
Proceed to add in the drained quinoa-moong dal mix, then stir for a few seconds and season with salt. Pour 2 cups of water into the pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles. Lower the intensity of the flame and heat for 5 minutes. Finally, turn off the flame.
While waiting for the cooker to cool, whisk the yogurt with chopped mint and a pinch of salt.
Divide the cooked quinoa Dalia into two bowls. Add the mint yogurt as a topping.
