Polenta is delicious comfort food and tastes great with everything from cheese to tomatoes to mushrooms ...It is normally made with a yellow maize flour,but i made it with QUINOA FLOUR;Once a staple to the Incas, which was regarded by colonists as a lowly food and outlawed by the Spanish conquistadors, quinoa has bounced back and become, not just trendy, but widely embraced by everyone from vegetarians looking for a protein fix and a new flavor profile.
In a deep,heavy bottom pan,add water,bring one boil on fast flame,and add olive oil,salt,turmeric powder,sugar,green peas,green chillies and again bring one boil.
Add coconut milk and stir;immediately add quinoa flour,mix fast on high flame and cover and cook for 3-4 min,on low flame.
Add lemon juice,crushed pepper and mix well.Serve hot.....as it is or with any sauce over it like maize polenta.
NOTE:Friends you can also substitute coconut milk with butter milk to make,it more healthier.(if not vegan)
NOTE:If wish,one can avoid coconut milk and can use water in it"s place.And can use any veggies of their choice to it.Carrots / Capsicum / Red or yellow bell pepper will also tastes good in it.
one of our family friend brought quinoa seeds and flour in bulk from abroad;for me,hence i can"t resist my hand trying on it :d
