Dinner: Curry and Couscous

Tonight I prepared some curry from a bottled sauce, along with some Israeli couscous, as I'm quite unhappy with my rice cooker at the moment (most of the nonstick coating has worn off :().

Anyway, the curry sauce was Kitchens of India Bombay Kadai. Holy macaroni Batman, that stuff was wicked tasty. Pretty spicy, yet not spicy enough to drown out the flavor, and the flavor was pretty excellent. Definitely something I'll be buying again, if I can remember where I bought the dang stuff!

The couscous recipe I pretty much made up on the spot:
  • 1 cup Israeli couscous
  • 1 cup chopped white onions
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 7oz crushed tomatoes
  • 7oz corn niblets
  • fresh basil, salt, and pepper to taste
Brown the onions in the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add couscous and brown that as well. Meanwhile, add tomatoes and niblets to a pyrex measuring cup, at least 2 cups large. When the couscous is browned, add basil, salt, and pepper. Next, add boiling water to measuring cup, bring total amount to 2 cups. Add this to the couscous mixture in the saucepan. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until water is mostly absorbed. Eat.

Anyway, that was dinner. Surprisingly successful for basically no planning.
