Selviem this is how you cook basic couscous.


1 cup couscous
1/4 tsp ghee or oil
1 1/4 cups of water
a pinch of salt.


Method;

Heat water in a small pan, when it comes to boil,
add the salt and ghee.
add also the couscous and cook on a very slow fire
for few minutes.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan nicely, let it stand to
cool slightly.
Fluff up the couscous and spread on a plate.


Selviem now you can add grated carrots, thinly cut capscium,
sliced onions, chopped zucchini, chopped coriander leaves,
lemon juice, and any vege of your choice and make a salad.


For kitchadi you add the necessary things and cook like upma.
