3. Add the garam masala and stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

5. Add the couscous/quinoa/orzo/garbanzo mix. Bring back to a boil, then cover the pan and lower the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, stir vigorously, and then remove it from the heat and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes with the lid on (this will allow the raisins to plump up a little more).
