Simple cuscus

#SoupSalad - Couscous as a salad is very commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. Here I combined it with some assorted Bell Peppers and gave it an Indian tempering for an entirely different flavour. This healthy and nutritious salad serves as a complete balanced meal in itself as it is very filling. I gave a tempering of mustard seeds, urad dal (split black gram), curry leaves, red chilies and asafoetida. So there is a crunch to every bite of this yummy salad. You can run your imaginations run wild and add any other veggies you fancy. Some cashews, almonds or peanuts can also be a welcome addition. So enjoy this spicy salad with a dash of lime.

I can't quite express how much I love cauliflower 😍 and how much I love chickpeas 😍 (hence the heart eyes) so the combination of the two is the best thing ever.Legumes, pulses and beans are my go to for a strong source of protein! The humble chickpea or Garbanzo bean are an extremely healthy legume, with large quantities of dietary fiber (12.5 grams in one cup) and protein (14.5 grams in one cup) as well as plenty of minerals such as manganese, copper, folate, iron, folate and zinc. I probably eat chickpeas on average 3 times per week, they're so versatile, I mean what would the world be without falafel and hummus... I don't really want to think about that.Let's hand over to the other star in this dish, cauliflower. By far my favourite vegetable and once again very versatile. Jam-packed with vitamins and minerals and just like chickpeas, provides a source of "good" carbohydrate giving you the energy and sustainability you need, without spiking your blood with unecessary refined sugars. I usually roast my cauliflower florets in a little olive oil with some turmeric or garam masala but tonight I thought I'd try something a bit different, something I've seen online and popular on recipe sites and lots of the blogs I follow recently, is cauliflower cous cous/rice. This is literally a case of simply blitzing the uncooked florets in a food blender/processor to create a cous cous/rice consistency, that is surprisingly soft and fluffy but still has texture. Now, I know what yo...

This meal consists of chick pea cous cous, mushrooms, pan fried halloumi and vegetables. With a dash of greek yoghurt!Serves 2

#ZaikeCouscous upma is a quick recipe to make,add vegetables you desire and enjoy this super food and refresh yourself.

I became quite obsessed with cooking in my new tajine. It simple, everything you cook in that plate is instantly crazy delicious. And this recipe is no different. I basically used the same base as with my chicken tajine, using, this time, home-made meatballs, a tomato stew and dress it up with couscous. The result is quite indulgent, but it's Saturday after all, so why bother.

#SoupSalad - This is a very healthy salad with the goodness of couscous, french beans, black chickpeas and cucumber. A great light meal for any weight watchers. I added some feta cheese to add a punch to the salad. I also gave a tempering of mustard seeds, dry red chilies and asafoetida, which was later poured over the prepared salad at the time of serving. It gives a complete new dimension to any ordinary salad. Just try it and you will not be disappointed.

#SoupSalad - It is a very healthy and a nutritious salad as couscous is actually a kind of wheat commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. It is very easily available in supermarkets these days. Rajma too has a lot of health benefits as it contains fibre, vitamins and iron. So the combination of both rajma and couscous provides a balanced and a wholesome one-dish meal.

Chicken pepper steak is like my all time favourite... and if its a sizzler then its heaven on earth! But since I dont have the apparatus to make a sizzler at home I stick to the usual steak with rice and stir fried vegetables. But this time I thought I'd experiment a little bit with a new stuff my friend introduced me to... Cous cous! Its basically a North African dish,mostly Moroccan.This is my own recipe, so if you guys find something to be altered or not right do intimate me :-) Other than that,enjoy yourselves !!!!

On our recent trip to the states, I watched how Miss.D devoured a meatball during one of our meals there... she loved it so much she kept say 'mo' (more) .. I must say that meatball was just amazeballs ... it was so yummy and was melting in your mouthIt was a weeknight night in our house when I made her some couscous and served it with some meatballs ... She now she eats what I cook for my husband and I. I started doing that when she was 15mos when I watched how she was quickly pushing her plate of food away wanting ours ... thanks to her my cooking time is now cut down cause I don't have to cook special meals for her... If you are a working mum like I am this is perfect for a weeknight
