Quinoa pilaf with curry powder
Pilaf
Indian cuisine
What started out as an impromptu (well almost, I did call before I left) Visit to a friends place simply to share a large batch of fresh home baked croissants ended up with a lovely Aha moment. She'd whipped up some Quinoa pilaf that imprinted itself into my taste memory so much that I just had to come back and make some more. The caramelized onions add a wonderful depth of savory flavor to the grains <br />The key ingredient in this dish is the Curry powder. As much as many puritan Indian cooks disown this 'mutt' of a spice blend, it can and does come in handy for many a dish. So despite any misgivings, go ahead & buy yourself a small jar. A fabulous finishing touch that I added at the spur of the moment was a handful of toasted walnuts that add a lovely crunch.
