How to Make Indian Spiced Mango Couscous Pudding

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups milk, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to allow the raisins to plump and the flavors to meld.
  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix well to combine the spices thoroughly.
  4. Pour the spiced milk mixture over 1 cup of couscous in a medium bowl. Stir gently to ensure all the couscous is moistened.
  5. Add 1 cup of diced mango and 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to the couscous mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  6. Spoon the pudding into 4 individual serving cups or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the pudding to chill completely.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread 1/4 cup slivered almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Before serving, garnish each portion of the chilled mango couscous pudding with the toasted almonds. Enjoy!
