Amaranth grains or rajgira is full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and all nine essential amino acids. It has become a GF staple in our household. The porridge is a warm and nourishing breakfast that prepares itself with occasional supervision while I empty the dishwasher and complete other small morning chores.

Using adai as my inspiration, I made an extremely protein-packed version with lentils and quinoa, and to make them even more fun, turned them into savory waffles. They are an excellent hot & filling breakfast, perfect for a weekend, and best enjoyed with spicy coconut chutney!
