The World's Best Curry

So it didn't take me long to actually type up a recipe for curry.
Please try it! and let me know how it turned out!

(Caution... makes a hefty amount... PROOObably serves 5 - 8 people?)

CURRY
Ingredients:
1 T butter or oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 carrots, cut into bite size pieces
4 large potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
however much chicken, beef, or shrimp (1 lb - 2 lbs?), cut into bite size pieces
2 boxes of curry blocks (I know Fry's have them in the Asian aisle; they come in a box)
Water

Directions:
First, heat a large pot on medium high. Melt butter in pot, then cook onions for about a minute (don't over cook). Add your choice of meat. Cook all the way through.

Add carrots and potatoes. Add enough water to JUST cover the contents in the pot (Don't add too much... but not too little either). Cook with lid on for 20 - 30 minutes, occasionally stirring, until potatoes are soft enough for a fork to go through.

Add ONE box of curry blocks. Stir until all blocks are dissolved. Add more blocks if needed, to your liking (more blocks you add, the thicker and stronger the curry gets). You may go back and forth from adding blocks, to more water, to more blocks. "A" okay. Cook for another 5 - 10 minutes until all the blocks have dissolved. Remove from heat.

Serve with rice, and enjoy!

*You can always experiment and add other fun ingredients*
- My mom has substituted meat for beans in the past (not my fave) but it's been done.
- She's also added apples on top of all the other ingredients to mellow the spice of the curry (you can get some curry blocks that are HOT)
- I've added cabbage, really delicious, but I decided not to scare you away by putting it in the list of ingredients. It's optional.
- You can also add green bell peppers, diced/canned tomatoes, etc.
