<p><strong>Couscous/Kuskus</strong> is a form of <strong>Semolina granules</strong> made from durum wheat. It is slightly bigger than <strong>Rava (Sooji) </strong>which is used in Indian Cuisine. It is considered to be healthier than pasta. Couscous is sometimes known as the world’s smallest pasta. Traditionally, Couscous is steamed several times until it is soft and fluffy. <strong>Instant Couscous</strong> which is available in the supermarkets is pre-steamed and dried and can be cooked within 5 minutes. You can cook couscous in water or broth.<strong></strong></p>

<p>Here is a very simple recipe using <strong>Couscous and Vegetables. </strong><strong>Couscous </strong>tastes good with Indian spices. Since Couscous is larger than Rava, you don’t have to worry about it becoming mushy. The grains tend to remain separate.</p>
