Start by marinating the chicken using fresh parsley and chopped lemon.

Soak saffron in water for about 10 minutes.

Prepare a glass container for marinating the chicken.

Add chopped lemon, minced garlic, parsley, and saffron water into the container.

Include olive oil, black pepper, cumin, paprika (about 1 tablespoon or 2 teaspoons), and salt (about 1/2 teaspoon).

Massage the marinade into 4 pieces of chicken thighs thoroughly and refrigerate for about 1 night.

The next day, prepare breadcrumbs using a baguette, blending it into small pieces.

Combine breadcrumbs with 150 grams each of ground beef and ground pork, chopped parsley, chopped onion, oregano, black pepper, chili powder, and salt.

Mix everything together and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.

Prepare vegetables: daikon radish, eggplant, bell pepper, carrots, and zucchini by chopping them and arranging them on a tray.

Grate half an onion until fine and set aside.

After marinating the chicken, heat coconut oil in a large pot and sauté the grated onion until fragrant.

Add the marinated chicken and all the marinade into the pot, browning the chicken on all sides.

Pour chicken broth over the chicken until it is fully submerged.

Once the broth starts to simmer, gently add the meatballs one by one into the pot.

After a while, flip the meatballs to ensure they cook evenly.

Once the chicken is partially cooked, add bay leaves, chopped carrots, daikon, zucchini, bell pepper, and eggplant into the pot.

Add dried raisins, olives, turmeric, and salt to taste.

Transfer everything from the pot into a pressure cooker to save time, cooking for about 1 hour.

Before sealing the pressure cooker, shake it gently and taste for seasoning, adjusting as necessary.

While the pressure cooker is working, deep-fry the purchased dough balls until golden brown.

Once the pressure cooker is done, let it cool before opening the lid to check the dish.

Prepare to cook the couscous by boiling water in a separate pot.

Measure couscous using the same cup as the boiling water, adding it to a bowl with a pinch of salt.

Pour the boiling water over the couscous, stir to combine, and cover for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.

Plate the couscous, topping it with the chicken and vegetable mixture, and garnish with bay leaves.
