Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Add chopped green chili, onion, carrots, peas, and bell pepper to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in turmeric powder and salt to taste.
Add the cooked quinoa to the pan and mix well with the vegetables.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot and enjoy!
