Sometimes it can indeed get boring and monotonous to make the same things again and again. But by making  few changes, either by way of adding new ingredients, adopting a different cooking process or something as simple as changing the way the dish is presented can provide that much needed difference. Just because I love trying out new ingredients (whatever I see in the groceries around me), I do not always feel inclined to try a new type of dish. I mean, its great but I am not one to buy one bottle of spice or sauce when all I am going to use it for is ONE recipe! I see these Food network chef's using a small bit from a huge bottle - well they sure can afford to do that - but not me! I try to look out for/ create new things in the kitchen mostly with regular ingredients in my pantry. Trust me - if you look for it, you will be astounded at the variety that's available out there in your own pantry!

Keeping that in mind is this recipe for Couscous patties. I enjoyed a similar recipe in my colleagues house where she had added cheese, eggs and bread crumbs along with few vegetables to regular couscous to make deep fried croquettes. They were MIND BLOWING! I loved them and got her recipe. I made changes with few things to suit my needs and whatever I had on hand. I ended up using almost same vegetables since I had them but made them eggless and shallow fried them instead of deep frying. I also made them into patties instead of cylinders. Lets go to the recipe directly now shall we?
