Curried Couscous

Couscous is one of the ingredients that I have no experience on cooking. When I was in culinary school, I didn't get to handle starch section. I have always been the person who handle the salads and vegetables. So, when I found a box of couscous from a local bakery, I was excited to try them.

The first time I cook with couscous, I followed the instruction from the box. It was simple. Melt some butter, add in couscous and stock. Ta-dah! It's done. But, it was bland. So, I decided to experience with something else. Curried Couscous.
