This is definitely a keeper. Its nice to have variety and a healthy alternative to other grains. Good flavour.

So good! And very easy to make. I added a small diced potato and peas, and used red pepper flakes in place of ancho chili powder. Fantastic, and simple to freeze leftovers for later...

This is good! I just made half a recipe and didn't measure anything, and it all worked out.

The recipe as it is written would be a great side dish, but to make it more of a meal I added the following at the end (without cooking): 1) 1/3 C sliced almonds 2) 1/2 cub sliced celery 3) 1 diced mango 4) Hubby added chicken. I also added less ancho powder as others had suggested (about 2 tsp) and omitted the salt and pepper. Was delicious!!

Mmmm! I love curry! I added more onion and chopped garden tomatoes (we have sooo many!) Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. This is a really good recipe. Thanks for posting!

Well, if I have to eat quinoa, I guess this is a good recipe. I would add more curry flavor and less chili powder flavor, but that's just me. My husband liked it though.

I think the recipe is a good start. I thought the ancho was a bit harsh in this so I'll cut back a little next time. Also, I think the recipe needs some "stuff" in it.. chopped veggies or something. I'll add some to the leftovers.

This is so good! I did change it up a bit by adding 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and a can of chickpeas. I also threw in some craisins. Loved it! Thanks!

I didn't really care for this, and neither did my husband. I did have to sub dark chili powder for the ancho, so that might have made the difference. This just tasted incredibly over-seasoned, and almost bitter. I did find that after rinsing and draining it, the quinoa only took a few minutes to toast. I think 5 at medium heat on my stove would have burnt it. Sorry, but I won't be making this again.
