Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Bay leaf (Tej Patta)
- 1/2 onion large chopped
- 1 red bell pepper large chopped
- 1 cup carrot grated
- 1 3/4 cup couscous Isreali
- 2 cup water or broth
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the instant pot in sauté mode and add olive oil to it.
- Add the bay leaves and onions. Sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and carrots. Sauté for one more minute.
- Add the couscous, water, garam masala and salt. Stir well.
- Change the instant pot setting to manual mode for 2 minutes.
- When the instant pot beeps, do 10 minutes NPR. This means release the pressure manually 10 minutes after the beep.
- Fluff the couscous, it is fully cooked. Mix in the lemon juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
Notes
- Prepare with vegetables of your choice. I used bell peppers, carrots and onions, which I had at home. Other options are cauliflower, broccoli, edamame and green peas.
- If you like, you can add more spices, I wanted to keep the spices light so my daughter could eat it.
