Made with couscous, yogurt, sour cream, and evaporated milk, Caakiri is a slightly tangy pudding of sorts. It can be served unsweet (in which case it tastes very yogurty and rather nice for breakfast), or with sugar. This is where it takes on dessert-like qualities.

Instructions
- Prepare couscous according to package instructions, using only a pinch of salt and straight water (don’t use stock or oil/butter, as sometimes is suggested).
- Whisk together all other ingredients except sugar (unless you are sure you want it sweet).
- Next, pile on a happy mound of couscous. Mix and, if you haven’t already added it, taste to determine if you want to any sugar.
- Serve with an extra dusting of ground cardamom.
Recipe Notes
If served sweet you might want to add some raisins for flavor.
