Couscous Ameeri Khaman
The use of couscous is catching on fast. With the ready to cook variety available it is a quick n easy snack. I have used it in various Indian preparation like pulao and upma. This is another favourite.
Couscous is prepared by soaking in hot water ( usually 1 1/2 : 1 water to couscous ) . Before adding the water, seson it with turmeric 1/2 tsp, salt to taste and 1 tsp sugar. Stir till sugar dissolves. Add to the couscous , cover and keep. Heat 2 tsp oil. Add in mustard seeds 1/4 tsp, 1 finely chopped green chilli, 1 tsp sesame seeds. Pour the seasoning over the couscous. Mix well, adjust salt. Garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves and thin sev.
