Unleash Your Inner Chef with this Surprising Dragon Fruit and Turmeric Qu

May 17, 2025 Written by Ella

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that I recently created in the kitchen. This recipe was inspired by the vibrant colors of summer and my love for experimenting with unusual flavor combinations. I hope you enjoy making and savoring this one-of-a-kind dish as much as I do!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • dragon fruit (200g)
  • turmeric (5g)
  • coconut milk (400ml)
  • quinoa (150g)
  • pistachios (50g)

In terms of kitchen tools, you’ll want to have the following on hand:

  • blender
  • saucepan
  • fine mesh strainer
  • mixing bowl

To begin, peel and chop the dragon fruit into chunks. In a blender, combine the dragon fruit chunks with the turmeric and coconut milk. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp.

Next, rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to the package instructions. Allow the quinoa to cool slightly before transferring it to a mixing bowl. Pour the dragon fruit and coconut milk mixture over the quinoa and stir gently to combine.

To finish, roughly chop the pistachios and sprinkle them over the top of the dish for added crunch and flavor. Serve the dish warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings at 200g each. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to refrigerate it for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a more harmonious taste experience.

I encourage you to give this dragon fruit and turmeric quinoa dish a try and don’t be afraid to get creative with your own additions or substitutions. Cooking should be a fun and creative experience, so make this recipe your own and enjoy the process!
