Steps

1

Cut the potatoes and carrots into small cubes and steam them. Separately, steam the coarse couscous as usual, steaming it three times.
2

Dice the onions and hot peppers, and chop the tomatoes. Add the spices, tomato paste, salt, and oil. Cook over heat, then add 1 1/2 cups water (about 350 ml). When the onions are cooked, add the steamed vegetables.
3

Once the sauce is ready and the couscous is steamed, mix the sauce thoroughly with the couscous. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors, then garnish your boumfor as you like. This is a very popular dish in Biskra and Souf.
