This is an indian variant of the couscous recipe and favourite with my husband and daughter.

2tbsp olive oil
1 capsicum cut into squares
4/5 babycorns cut into thin strips
1 med onion cut lengthwise
3/4 garlic pods cut into small pieces
garam masala 1 tsp
coriander for garnish.

How to---
In a vessel put the water for boiling, when it starts boiling add 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt to it. Put the gas off. (You can add salt according to your taste as this is the only way u can put the salty taste into the couscous).
In a large bowl take the couscous and pour the boiled water over it .Put a lid on it and let it soak for 20/25 mins.
The couscous will soak all the water ,puff it with a fork.
In a pan take 2 tbsp olive oil . Fry the onions till translucent add the garlic.
Add capsicum and babycorns and fry for 2 mins. Now add the puffed couscous to it and stir well. Let it steam with a lid on for 5 mins on low flame.
Remove the lid and add garam masala to it. Stir again and steam for another 2 mins.

This is very easy to prepare, healthy as it is made from wheat semolina, and it tastes yummy.
