Spicy Vegetable and Quinoa Laksa

"YOU EAT WITH YOUR EYES". I find this statement to be so true; But, the taste of dish, I must admit, tastes a lot better than it looks. I don't like the look of vegetables once they've been cooked for a while, they lose their crisp vibrant colour.

- 1 onion, diced
-  4 tablespoons curry paste
- 1 litre milk
- 750g frozen vegetables
- 175g quinoa, rinsed

1. In a large frypan, simmer the onion and curry paste for around 2 minutes, then add a splash of water. Simmer this for 5 minutes. Heat the milk in a jug in the microwave.

2. To the onion and curry, add the vegetables, quinoa, and milk. Bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked. The quinoa will absorb most of the liquid. *I noticed it absorbed a lot more once I turned the heat off and let it sit.* Check for seasoning.
