No.23 – Veggie Couscous

12 different ingredients - 1hours to prepare - serves over 5 people

Ingredients:

1 bowl (dry) - couscous.

1/2 bowl (dry) - ground nuts.

1/2 large or 1 medium - capsicum (diced) (any colour).

1 bowl - white maize.

2 large - carrots (diced).

1 large - onion (diced).

1 large - tomato (diced).

500ml - water.

1/4 tblspn - hing.

1/4 tblspn - haldi.

1 tblspn (flat) - salt.

2 large cloves - garlic (paste).

1 medium stem - ginger (paste).

2 large - green chillies (paste).

Method:

Fill a large pot, half-way, with water and let it come to a boil. Once the water is boiling add 1 bowl of couscous and let the couscous cook for about 15-20min until it becomes soft. Strain the couscous out in a sieve and allow it to cool off.

In a large pan add 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 large onion, 1 large carrot and 1/2 large or 1 medium capsicum diced and 1 bowl of white maize, and let all the ingredients cook slightly for about 10-15 minutes. Once all the ingredients have softened add the paste of 2 large cloves of garlic, 1 medium stem of ginger and 2 large green chillies, 1/4 tblspn of hing, 1/4 tblspn of haldi and 1 tblspn (flat) of salt, letting all the ingredients combine and cook together.

Once all the vegetables are infused with the paste and spices, add the cooked couscous to the veggies. Mix all the ingredients using a fork, in order to just separate the couscous and not break/smash it, combining them together.

Finally, serve the couscous in a large bowl with a steaming hot Chaa Da Cup - Please!, and add the diced tomatoes with some roasted-chopped up ground nuts and some thinly sliced coriander onto the couscous.
