Rinse quinoa under cold water until water runs clear.

Bring 1 and 3/4 cups of water to a boil and add 1 cup of quinoa.

Cook covered on low flame for 15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime, 1 red chili, 1 heap teaspoon of ginger paste, olive oil, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar.

Blend the dressing until well combined.

Once quinoa is cooked, combine it with chickpeas and pomegranate in a large bowl.

Drizzle the dressing over the quinoa mixture and mix until evenly coated.
