(Side note- I apologize for the photo quality. My camera lens on my phone is scratched and that makes the pics look hazy. Not to worry, I will be getting it fixed soon!)

So this may not look like the most appetizing meal- but it was actually very good. I have never had couscous- and the only curry that I've had was in Japan which was more of a gravy. I thought it was a good venture outside my usual food box. I will say, it had mango chutney in it which is like a mango jelly with actual mango pieces. It made the dish have a sweet taste while having the salty/garlic/curry flavor as well. It was interesting. I think next time I make it, I might cut the amount of chutney in half, or pull out the mango pieces- however I will say, the hubs really liked it and didn't want me to change anything about it. I'm a little more of a picky eater than he is though. I didn't mind the mango flavor, but the pieces of mango in the dish threw me off a little.
