After thoroughly rinsing the quinoa, cook it in a rice cooker with twice the amount of water and a pinch of salt.

Melt butter in a frying pan over low heat. Fry the large slices of cottage cheese on all sides until they turn slightly brown. Transfer them to a dish. Once cooled, slice them to your desired sizes.

In the same frying pan, add cumin seeds and sauté until aromatic. Then, fry the peanuts until they turn slightly reddish-brown.

Add the cooked quinoa and stir-fry for a minute. Next, add the fried cottage cheese (paneer), lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.

Garnish with spring onions or your favorite herbs. Serve a tasty high-protein cottage cheese quinoa bowl whenever you need a nutritious and satisfying meal!
