15mins should be fine
Carrots don't take much time to get cooked.
Personally, I guess carrots are best eaten when raw and juicy. But incase you are trying to cook it up with something then it is not a difficult task at all. Carrots in the first place don't take much time to get cooked.
Firstly carrots can be used as garnish in rice. For example, when cooking carrots with rice, you can add the chopped carrots just two minutes before putting off the gas.
Incase, you are trying your hand at a very famous Indian sweet dish 'gajjar ka halwa' then maybe after shredding the carrots all you have to do is mix other ingredients (namely sugar, dry fruits etc) and stir it well.

I prefer carrot raw but if you are to cook the, they need to be fork tender.
