Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water before cooking to remove its natural bitterness.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier and richer curry.

- For extra protein, consider adding chickpeas or tofu to the curry.
- Adjust the amount of curry powder and red pepper to suit your spice tolerance.
