Preparation
Rinse quinoa under running water. Wash it vigorously with hands for 2-3 minutes. This ensures that there is no bitter taste in the quinoa.
Soak the quinoa for 3-4 hours.
After the soaking is done, throw away the excess water and wash the quinoa for 30 seconds under running water.
Transfer to a mixer grinder.
Add salt, and baking powder and grind the mixture to a batter for 2-3 minutes.
Check the consistency of the batter and grind again if needed.
The final batter will be slightly more viscous (dense) compared to ID idli batter.
Preheat an oven (OTG, microwave on convection mode or Air Fryer) to 180-degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
Transfer the batter to a greased (with a few drops of oil) baking pan with a thickness of ¼ inch.
Bake for 20 minutes or till the flatbread has turned golden brown. If you prefer a crunch in your bread, bake for another 10 minutes.
Let the flatbread cool before using it. The flatbread becomes firm as it cools.
Once the bread has cooled for 15 minutes under the fan, take it out of the pan and cut it in to two pieces. The bread is airy and fluffy on the inside while being firm and crispy on the outside.
Cut a ripe avocado and remove its soft flesh using a spoon.
Spread the avocado flesh on the flatbread.
Steam sweetcorn kernels.
Mix diced onions and tomatoes, steamed sweetcorn, salt, black pepper, oregano and rosemary. Layer the mixture on the flatbread above the avocado.
Add sliced jalapenos and sliced olives on the flatbread.
Cut in to pieces and serve.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Squeeze half a lemon on top of the flatbread.
Drizzle a few drops of extra virgin olive oil on top.
If avocado is not available, any other creamy spread such as mayonnaise or hummus could be used.
