If you are cooking the quinoa from scratch, in step 1, add 2/3 cup quinoa + 1 cup of water + 1 cup of the milk. Add the salt, dried fruits and spices. Bring to a boil, cover and cook 15-20 minutes over a low flame. Add a little more milk if it looks dry. Carry on with step 2 as above.
if you can’t find fresh turmeric, use 1/2 teaspoon powdered turmeric instead.
1 cup grated apple = 1 small ‘school boy’ apple.
