After frying, add 1 medium-sized chopped onion and fry until light.

Add 1/2 cup of green peas, 1/2 cup of chopped carrot, 1/2 cup of chopped beans, 1/2 cup of chopped potato, and 1/2 cup of chopped capsicum.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder; mix well.

Add the pre-cooked quinoa to the vegetable mixture and mix well for about 2 minutes.

Turn off the stove; the quinoa and vegetables are ready.
