Categories     Curries

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup water
1 cup couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 cup golden raisin
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 lbs rotisserie-cooked chicken, remove and shred meat from a store-bought chicken
1 cup coconut milk
1 pinch salt, to taste
1 pinch pepper, to taste
3 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat. Add couscous, stir once, then cover and let sit until the rest of the recipe is complete.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, carrots and raisins and saute until onions are just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add curry powder and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add chicken and coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer couscous to a large serving bowl and fluff with a fork. Add scallions and toss to combine. Spoon chicken curry over the center of the couscous.

Tips:

  • Use a quality curry powder. This is the key to a flavorful curry. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. Some people like a mild curry, while others prefer a more spicy one. Start with a small amount of curry powder and add more to taste.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your curry the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Add the couscous to the pot and cook according to the package directions. Once the couscous is cooked, fluff it with a fork.
  • Stir in the vegetables, curry powder, and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the curry has thickened.
  • Serve the curry hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, naan bread, or papadums.

Conclusion:

This easy curry couscous recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and satisfying meal. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The curry is flavorful and fragrant, and the couscous is light and fluffy. You can easily adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste, and you can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber.
