We made this for dinner last night and my son went back for thirds!  Added extra onion [because we like onion], a can of chickpeas and some frozen spinach for veggies & ½ tsp of Garam Masala for a bit of extra spice to the pot.  This turned out fantastic and we will definitely be making this again!

Oh my goodness, does this taste wonderful!  I turned it into a main course, adding grilled chicken, zucchini, yellow squash and fresh peppers.  Fantastic!

I've made about 10 times and it is AMAZING! I use our rice cooker (using the White Rice setting) and just throw everything in the pot - but left out the added salt since the chicken broth has plenty already. Thanks AF!

This was my first experience with quinoa and I'm very excited about how it turned out! Such a simple and yummy recipe that we really enjoyed! I followed the directions exactly except for using two tsp of regular chili powder since I didn't have ancho. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again Thank you!

This is a very interesting quinoa recipe. We added lemon juice and it really made it pop! Next time I will reduce the chile powder because it was just a little bit too strong. All in all very enjoyable.

I used this recipe for my first attempt to cook quinoa after hearing about how good it is for you. I liked it very much. I made the following changes though based on others' reviews. Sub. chili powder for the ancho chili add 1T. lemon juice add 1 t. garam masala and 1-2 cans drained chickpeas and/or cooked chicken breast.

This was my first attempt with cooking quinoa and it was surprisingly easy! This recipe was absolutely delicious and both myself and my dinner guests raved about it. A few modifcations I made were to add alot of veggies: asparagus broccoli bell peppers zucchini and bok choy which I sauteed in chicken broth added a few dashes of soy sauce and sriracha (hot sauce) and some chicken breast. I threw in prawns at the end as well. I cooked the quinoa and sauteed onion with curry and chile powder in my rice cooker and added to the veggie mix at the end. This dish was so flavorful very easy and quick to prepare. It is a new household favorite.

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!

Hubby said it was a 5. Since we've been exposed to several Quinoa recipes we really like it. I will reduce the ancho chile powder to 2 tsp next time because I felt it overpowered the curry.
