Method :

For Quinoa:

Rinse quinoa with cold water. Use a fine mesh filter or coffee filter. If you're a klutz like me use the fine mesh filter or a lot of quinoa is going to wind up in the sink!

• Place oil and diced onions in a heavy saucepan. Saute the onions on medium high heat for four to five minutes.
   
• Add the ginger root, chile, and quinoa. Cook for one minute stirring constantly.
  A fine, white spiral appears around the grain as it cooks.
   
• Stir in the turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for one minute stirring constantly.
   
• Add the water and bring it to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
   
• Stir in peas. Cover and cook for four or five minutes or until peas are tender and all the water has been absorbed.
   
• Fluff with a fork before serving.
