Quinoa with Vegetables

Its been a long time that I was thinking to make something out of Quinoa. Not sure what this is called in Malayalam or Tamil, but it is a superstar food.
Quinoa is a good source of protein and complex carbohydrates.Its contains twice the protein of regular cereal grains.It contains no gluten, making it ideal for those with weight loss diets free of gluten.
An ideal food for vegetarians.
