Grill
Place white quinoa into fine sieve/colander and rinse well under cold water. Place quinoa in a pot with 1 cup of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until all liquid has been soaked up and quinoa is tender and fluffy. Add a little more water if needed.
Tip! Rinsing the quinoa first gets rid of any residual bitterness.
Drain and rinse chickpeas. Dice yellow capsicum. Grate or julienne carrot. Finely slice shallot. Pick coriander leaves and finely chop stems.
Toss chicken tenderloins with a small amount of curry powder (1/2 tsp) and a drizzle of oil. Use the rest of the curry powder in step 4. Heat a pan over medium high heat and cook the chicken on both sides for 5-6 minutes per side. Set aside to rest.
Combine remaining curry powder, maple syrup/lemon juice, crushed ginger and 2 tbsp olive oil and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl combine the quinoa, chopped veggies, chickpeas, peas and dried cranberries and mix well. Toss with the dressing and season to taste.
Divide salad amongst bowls and serve with sliced chicken. Garnish with remaining coriander and roasted cashew nuts.
