About Kuska
Kuska is a flavorful South Indian one-pot rice dish known for its simplicity and aromatic appeal. Typically made with plain rice, it’s seasoned with a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, and cumin. Unlike biryani, it doesn’t contain meat or vegetables, making it lighter and quicker to prepare. Kuska is often served as a side dish or paired with curries or raita for a complete meal. Rich in carbohydrates from the rice, it provides a quick energy boost, while the spices contribute antioxidants and digestive benefits. However, the use of oil or ghee in its preparation adds to its calorie content, which should be consumed in moderation by those watching their fat intake. Kuska captures the essence of South Indian cuisine with a minimalist approach, offering a fragrant, nourishing option for those seeking a simple yet satisfying dish.
