It is my pleasure today to bring you a guest post from the lovely, creative, and inspiring Sonal from Simply Vegetarian!
I have mentioned a time or two before that I used to not be very adventurous when it came to trying foods. It is actually hard for me to believe now. I remember going to a particular restaurant with my hubby off and on over the years and he would often get something that I was totally unwilling to try. For some reason, after years of my unwillingness, I took a bite of what he was eating, and wow! I absolutely loved it! Who knew I had been missing out for so long. So many times of watching him eat something so delicious and never taking a bite.
All that said to say, one of the many reasons I am drawn to Sonal is that she inspires me to try new foods! Indian food happens to be something that I have just barely dipped my pinky toe in, so I often find myself excited to see what she posts and saving her creations! Take a look at her Kadhai Paneer, and I absolutely love when she makes a spice blend for us!
I am super, duper excited by the recipe she has brought us all today! I know you will love it!
Time for me to hand you over to Sonal ❤ …

I’ve just discovered Quinoa, Lori – so this recipe is very welcome!
I usually use a lot of rice and lentils, but Quinoa is a really tasty alternative.
I love the way it has such a different texture too.
Thanks for re-posting –
