Quinoa Kichadi/Pongal

Recipe from my cousin...U may want to try this with split green moong. Since I dint have it, I opted for yellow moong. You could make it similar to the way U make pongal.
Recipe:
* 1 cup quinoa, half cup moong dhaal
* Add oil to pressure cooker, then add 2 slit green chillies, grated ginger
* Add quinoa, dhaal and add turmeric, 1 spoon salt
* Add 4.5 cups water, pressure cook the same way U do rice
* Then add ghee to a tava, few cashews and curry leaves
* Once the cooker is ready to open, add the above and half spoon pepper jeera powder.
FYI..Veggies I would skip if you would like to taste it like Pongal.
Serve hot with coconut chutney/saambaar!
