Precautions

Couscous Preparation:
Follow the packet instructions to cook the couscous accurately. Ensure it is cooked to the right consistency to avoid a mushy or undercooked texture.
Haddock Freshness:
Use fresh haddock fillets and ensure they are free from any unpleasant odors or discoloration. Purchase seafood from a reputable source.
Peas Quality:
Use fresh or high-quality frozen peas. Ensure they are cooked to the desired tenderness and do not overcook, which may result in a loss of color and texture.
Curry Powder Measurement:
Use curry powder in moderation. Taste the salad as you mix to achieve the desired level of spiciness without overpowering the dish.
Spring Onion Handling:
Handle spring onions with care while chopping to avoid accidental cuts. Use proper cutting techniques and ensure they are fresh.
Chopped Egg Quality:
Use hard-boiled eggs that are cooked through but not overdone. Check for freshness and proper cooking to enhance the salad’s flavor.
