I usually make this dish for my family for the afternoon tea. Following this recipe, you can easily make this tasty treat in less than 20 minutes. What I really like about this dish is it’s low in fat, high in protein and has good source of fiber, making it a very healthy low calories food choice.

Couscous on its own is a tiny type of pasta that is made from semolina flour. It’s a good source of healthy carbs and some plant based protein.
