Cuscuz nordestino is a traditional dish from the Northeast region of Brazil. It is prepared with corn flour, salt, manioc starch, and either water or coconut milk. The combination of these ingredients is steamed until fragrant. Once prepared, cuscuz nordestino is cut into slices and served hot.

This nutritious, inexpensive, and simple dish was brought to Brazil by Portuguese colonizers, and today it's a staple in the Northeast of Brazil – in some places, it's even used as a replacement for bread.
