Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. While the stew simmers, prepare the curry roux in a separate pan: melt butter, then stir in flour and cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned. Add curry powder, garam masala, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir to make a thick paste. Add the curry roux into the pot with the stew. Stir well to incorporate. Let simmer for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables beautifully. Serve hot over steamed white rice.
