“I thought to myself
It’s time to change,
Remodel regular beings
Into something strange.
So I took a tomato plump
And browned it with it's friends,
Simmers of creativity concluded
This oh-so irresistible blend.”
Ingredients
1 tomato, chopped
½ red onion, sliced lengthwise
¼ cup boiled corn
¼ cup fresh peas
1 tablespoon oilive oil
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon chat masala
1 cup couscous
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon yogurt
Salt to taste
Add 1 cup boiling water to the couscous. Let it stand for a minute till it soaks all the water and puffs up. Mix in the butter and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions and sauté till they are transparent and start browning. Now add the tomatoes and mix well. Cook on medium heat till the tomatoes turn pasty. Add the corn, peas, chat masala, garam masala and salt. Cover and cook for 2 minutes on medium flame. Remove from heat.
Serve the vegetables with couscous and top it with a dollop of yogurt and a squeeze of lime. Sprinkle some oregano or fresh parsley before serving.
Simple and wholesome!
