1

Peel the potatoes (2 medium) and cut into small pieces. Rinse the quinoa (0.25 cup) and drain.
2

Add the [potatoes] and [quinoa] to a pressure cooker with water (3 cups). Pressure Cook in the pressure cooker for 3 minutes, then quick release after 5 minutes. If cooking in a saucepan, cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the [potatoes] are cooked to preference.
3

Once cooked, drain the [potatoes] and [quinoa], let them drain really well, and cool down a bit. Meanwhile, prep the rest of the ingredients. You can also use pre-cooked [potatoes] and [quinoa] instead of cooking them together.
4

Add the [potato] and [quinoa] to a large bowl and mash, add the rest of the ingredients (green chili (1 hot), finely chopped onion (0.33 cup), minced ginger (2 tsp), chopped cilantro (0.5 cup), cumin seeds (0.5 tsp), cayenne (0.5 tsp), ground coriander (0.5 tsp), baking soda (0.125 tsp), salt (0.75 tsp), oil (1 tsp)) and mix well. Taste and adjust [salt] if needed. You can add other flavors here as you wish.
5

Heat your waffle iron, drizzle a bit of [oil] on the waffle iron, then place a 0.25 cup or more of the mixture, depending on the size of the waffle iron. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown on both sides. This can take quite a bit of time depending on the waffle iron, and [potatoes].
6

If you want these to be sturdier, and more crispy, you can add in a 0.25 cup of flour or breadcrumbs into the mixture, and then waffle it. Serve with chutneys, [ketchup] or topped with [chickpea curry] or other bean curries or some [salsa]/Pico de Gallo or [gravy] (change waffle flavor to Italian seasoning).
