Indian Curry Couscous With Broccoli And Edamame Reviews

• This was very tasty and pretty easy to make as well. I loved the blend of spices. As a carnivore, I decided to add chicken. With the chicken, it probably does not need as much edamame as the original recipe calls for (there was a lot of edamame) Yum

• I did make everything as per this recipe but I felt the curry was dry. So I added a cup of water, reduced the heat to low and added a spoonful of cream cheese. This turned out great

• This turned out really really good I used zucchini instead of broccoli and peas instead of edamame, but that is just because it is what we had on hand. A keeper

• This was just ok.

• It is an easy recipe to make
