# Instructions:

01 - Using the package instructions, cook the quinoa in 2 cups of water. Fluff it with a fork once it's done and let it cool down completely.
02 - Blend the mint leaves, black salt, lime juice, and green chilies together into a coarse paste using a blender.
03 - Run the frozen veggies through a blender till coarsely chopped. Squeeze the mix to remove any extra liquid from it.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, toss in the cooled quinoa, seasoning paste, chopped veggies, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, and salt. Add additional breadcrumbs if the mix feels too sticky.
05 - Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron with olive oil. Add a portion of the batter and cook it for about 15 minutes or until it gets golden and crispy. Wait 5 minutes before serving along with some ketchup or green chutney.

# Notes:

01 - You can make these waffles ahead of time and warm them up in a toaster.
02 - Feel free to tweak the spice level to your liking.
