250 g water

Proceedings
Cut the onion finely and put it in a pan on the stove with a little oil. Add the tomato sauce with basil leaves and, just to boil, add even carrots, potatoes and celery and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. In the last minutes of cooking add the turmeric, curry powder and add salt if necessary.
Meanwhile put to boil as much water as is the cous cous (ratio 1: 1). When it boils, turn off the heat, room slightly and add a little oil (to not attack the cous cous) and pour the couscous into the water. Let stand for 5 minutes and then shelling the couscous with a wooden spoon.
