Curried Couscous

I tried another recipe from Quick-Fix Vegetarian, and usually I love the recipes from this book. This one, however, wasn't very good. It started out looking delicious, but after adding the couscous it became drier than the Sahara. I think this would be better with a) more liquid, and b) as a side dish for something with lots of sauce.
