  • Next, pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pot and bring it to a soft boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the chopped carrots, curry roux, and any secret ingredients you'd like. Let it simmer, partially covered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens.
