To cook the quinoa, Wash and rinse well in cold water, rubbing the grain in your hands as you rinse, to remove the bitter outer coating.
Strain in a very fine mesh strainer - the grains of quinoa are quite small.
Add the water and quinoa to a pot, with ½ to 1 tsp salt, bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes.
Set cooked quinoa aside and cool for at least a half an hour. Mix quinoa with the eggs, salt and spices. I suggest just getting in and getting dirty - use your hands.
Heat oil on medium-low flame, create patties from the mixture, and fry in the oil until each side looks golden brown and crunchy. Serve with optional garnishes or eat plain.
