Instructions

1
Combine the jasmine rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, make the curry sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
