Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp olive oil or ghee
1 cup broccoli
1 carrot (chopped)
½ bell pepper
½ tsp black pepper
Salt (as per taste)
Optional: ginger & garlic (for extra benefits)

Method
 

Rinse the quinoa well and cook it with 2 cups of water
    Add turmeric and a little salt while cooking
      Heat olive oil or ghee in a pan
        Sauté ginger-garlic (optional) and vegetables
          Add the cooked quinoa and mix well
            Sprinkle black pepper on top
              Always combine turmeric with black pepper when cooking, as black pepper significantly improves the absorption of curcumin (the active compound in turmeric), making the dish more effective for reducing inflammation.

            Notes

            Always use fresh vegetables and avoid overcooking them to retain maximum nutrients. Rinse quinoa properly before cooking to remove its natural bitterness. You can adjust the spice level according to your taste, and for a more filling meal, add a protein source like paneer, chicken, or chickpeas. Stick to natural ingredients and avoid processed sauces to keep the dish truly anti-inflammatory and healthy.
