Cous Cous

This one is my favourite recipe. I’ve posted many recipes before, some good for their taste and some good for health. But this one is world class w.r.t to both taste and health. This is my Monday breakfast almost every week, is extremely tasty and can be cooked in about 10 minutes. This recipe can be customized in several ways to suit your taste.

Couscous is not a very commonly known cereal in Indian market. Infact, it’s a moroccon cereal. Its is used to make a variety of salads. It is mostly available as an imported food item, can be bought from big supermarkets. It looks like Daliya but differs a lot in taste. It is also a very popular dish among those practicing diet.

The best part is, it can be cooked completely in microwaves without any oil. Let’s see how we cook this.
