She is a great cook and she taught us to be thankful to God and share our blessings with others too. The secret ingredient for making great dishes is the passion behind it.

<i><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Quinoa stir fry is very easy to make. We can make it spicier by adding chilli powder along with indian spices/Mrs Dash or any other prefered spice seasoning. Cook quinoa, mix it with stirfried veggies and chicken (beef/shrimp/goat meat). Fried egg should be well cooked, without any crispy edges....i over cooked my egg :(</span></i><br />

<i><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>About Quinoa:</b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #38761d;">The United Nations General Assembly declared 2013 as the international year for Quinoa, in recognition of ancestral practices of the Andean people, who have preserved quinoa as food for present and future generations, through knowledge and practices of living in harmony with nature. Quinoa has been called a super food, it is a source of protein and it contains more amino acids than other grains.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #38761d;"> 1/2 cup cooked quinoa contains 17 grams carb, 2.5 grams fibre, 4 grams protein and 111 cal. It's glycemic index (GI) is 9. Foods lower in glycemic index is digested and absorbed slowly, thus producing gradual rise in blood sugar and insulin levels. It can be substituted for rice, pasta, bulgur or millet in any recipe -about.com, wikipedia, wholefoodsmarket. </span></i><br />
