Cooking Steps
- To a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, half the garlic powder, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then add tilapia. Pan-fry for 3-4 min per side, until tilapia is cooked through.**
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until tomatoes start to break down, 2-3 min.
- Add zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Add Dal Spice Blend, curry paste and remaining garlic powder. Cook 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add cream cheese and 2/3 cup (1 cup) water. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, until combined.
- Once simmering, add tilapia. Continue cooking for 1-2 min, stirring often, until warmed through and sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If sauce is too acidic, add 1/4 tsp [1/2 tsp] sugar!)
- Add half the cilantro to the pot with couscous. Season with salt and pepper, then fluff with a fork.
- Divide couscous between bowls. Spoon tilapia curry over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
