4 grated carrots
3 cups of water

1/2 teaspoon of powdered tumeric (borrie)
Curry paste or curry powder according to taste

2.  Add the rest of the ingredients and allow to cook for a further 10min, stirring and adding water in small amounts to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
