Easy Healthy Curry Quinoa and Veggies! curry spices give it heat and quinoa brings a nice nutty flavor, a side of veggies compliment the hot curry flavors. Vegan and Gluten Free.

I have a curry obsession lately! Not that long ago I posted a curry rice bowl so naturally I had to see if it would taste good with quinoa! You now I love my quinoa, see example A (breakfast quinoa) B (detox quinoa) and C (superfood quinoa)! check out the bazillion other ones here! 😉

Anyways, guess what? It tastes amazing! I was worried it wouldn’t taste as good as rice but… I really don’t know which I like better. They are SO different, obviously the texture is really different rice is much softer and quinoa is moreeee… well like a grain. Even though I used the same spices, the flavors were different! I think that the quinoa actually tasted more spicy/hot! So if you love heat, go with the quinoa. 😉

A few things to note:

Just like I mentioned in the curry rice cold or at least cooled works best, so place the quinoa in the fridge to cool down before adding it to the skillet pan with the spices. Cold works best because when it’s still hot, it tends to get a little too soft in texture and when you cool it down, for some reason it holds its texture better… whatever works right!

Another thing, I used a ½ teaspoon of each of the spices, if you don’t love a lot of heat start with ¼ teaspoon first! You can always add more but you can’t take it back out once it has been added so I do encourage you to start with smaller portions and add more to your liking. What I have listed is what I find tastes best for me, so use it as a guide! 😉

For the veggies, I chose broccoli, red pepper and snap peas but if you don't like those, you can substitute any of your favorite veggies in here!

This is good to keep in the fridge for 2-3 days if you want to have it for a couple lunches!
