It didn't taste much like carrots when done, but it was yummy -- the spices really gave it an interesting flavour. The only other thing worth mentioning is the stage, "Add water." -- exactly how much water is left to you! I ended-up putting too much in and had to leave it simmering for a couple of hours to reduce to a good consistancy. Otherwise, really good. The yoghurt sauce adds an extra dimension. Try with a hearty bread (with olives and/or sundried tomatoes baked in).
