Como fazer Quinoa Lime Biryani

Zest two limes to yield 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest. Juice both limes, yielding approximately 6 tablespoons of lime juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 cup quinoa, 1 ¾ cups water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is translucent and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl.
Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drained), ½ cup chopped scallions, ½ cup slivered almonds, and ½ cup raisins to the bowl.
Gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 ½ teaspoons lime zest, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 3/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture.
Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Serve warm or cold.
