1. Simmer the onion and the curry paste with a splash of water for 5 mins in a large saucepan, stirring from time to time. Heat the milk in a jug in the microwave.
2. Add the vegetables and quinoa, then stir in the milk. Bring to the boil, simmer gently for 10 mins until the quinoa is cooked. Check seasoning. Serve with warm naan bread.

Use rice

If you can't find quinoa, this soup will work just as well with rice. Rinse 300g long-grain or basmati rice and cook in the laksa until tender.

'I wasn't sure about the recipe for Spicy vegetable & quinoa laksa - milk and frozen veg sounded odd - so I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted.'

  Would make this again using the Quinoa however i will use rice next time to see what the difference is. I used a Madras paste as i feel it would be abit to sickly if Korma paste was used. Be interesting to see what this would be like using Coconut milk or maybe half and half. Definatley worth making though

  Traditionally coconut milk has been used instead of diary produts. Using coconut milk enhances the flavour. Not so sure about using milk. Quinoa is a new twist and may worth a try.
