Hi Shivani,
No, quinoa is a seed unlike cracked wheat, which is a grain.

So where would I find quinoa? at a health food store like whole foods or can I get it at walmart – in rice and beans section?
A small request can you try to get recipes that take lesser time – maybe short cuts and quick and healthy meals for busy working moms? I loved your cereal mix and some recipes where you suggest using ready ingredients!
Love all your recipes BTW!

Satya,
Quinoa is definitely available at the health food stores. We have a “Sprouts – Farmer’s Market” that sells it in a big bin. You can take as much as you like. We have also seen it at a Kroger’s in a packaged tray. Have not seen it at Walmart.
We’ll keep your suggestion in mind

Thank you so much for this recipe! I tried it today and it was quick, easy and absolutely delicious.
I’m off to uni next year, so no more of mom’s homemade cooking… but atleast now I know I won’t starve! This is the perfect on-the-go recipe.

I do not have a pressure cooker. How long does it take to cook using the stove top method?
Thank you for responding.

Quinoa cooks fast even if you do not have a pressure cooker.
Bring it to a boil, lower the heat to a medium and cover and cook. Keep stirring and checking on it. You don’t want the liquid to evaporate. Keep cooking till you see the seeds pop open and turn white with a little white tail. So bring to boil and then on medium for about 15-20 minutes.
