Indian-style chicken with Pearl Couscous

Method

Heat olive oil in a wide, non-stick pan. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, fennel seeds and cumin seeds and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add the curry powder and stir for 10 seconds. Add the chicken pieces, capsicum and zucchini and stir for 3-4 minutes.
Add the pearl couscous and stir gently for 1 minute. Add the simmering stock, stir briefly and bring to a low simmer. Season with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice during the cooking. Add a little water if necessary during the cooking.
When it’s ready all the liquid will have been absorbed by the couscous.
Stir in the lemon juice and serve garnished with coriander leaves.
