How to Make Quinoa Pilaf Upma Pressure Cooker
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pressure cooker. Add 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

- Add 1 cup quinoa, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup frozen peas (or 1/2 cup chopped seasonal vegetables), 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and salt to taste. Stir well.
