Green curry chickpeas with coucous

This is a superb recipe and the perfect antidote to a cold winter. Curry takes us to Indian cuisine. Chickpeas and couscous take us to the countries of Maghreb, Egypt and the Middle East. The rest of the ingredients, familiar either to the Mediterranean or to ethnic cuisine, like ginger, coconut milk, mint and garlic, they add their own taste to this eclectic exoticism that is served on our plate.
