v1-1 2026-05-02 15:09 After first cook — Erica found the fine couscous too fine, cauliflower pieces too big, dish serviceable but not memorable. Grain default couscous swapped for pearl couscous or basmati rice (chewier bite). Cauliflower florets to about 1.5 cm dice (evens out the texture). Spices cumin 3 g to 5 g, paprika 3 g to 5 g (was underseasoned). Added dried fruit (raisins or apricots), preserved lemon or harissa option, toasted sliced almonds for crunch. diff vs v1
v1 2026-05-02 15:09 Initial version. Moroccan spice profile chosen over Indian curry for novelty and kid-friendliness (cinnamon plus honey).
