1/2 cup carrot (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp chili paste

2 Tbsp biryani powder
2 Tbsp organic yogurt
1/2 tsp peeled fresh ginger (grated)
6 cup kale (torn) or spinach works too
2 cups brown rice (cooked)
1 cup quinoa (cooked)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (minced)
1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (drained)

Procedure:
1. Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Set aside 1 cup cooked quinoa.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add curry, biryani powder, yogurt, chili paste, and ginger; sauté 1 minute.
3. Add remaining ingredients; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Serve at room temperature.
