Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Excellent conversion of
Ete Evans butter chicken recipe! Thank you!
Is it tapioca pearls or powder?
This butter chicken was delicious, I did think the sauce was a little thin & I will add more tapioca next time
Awesome!
Delicious!! All 6 of us loved it! (I did 1.5 times the recipe and it just fitted nicely
) Even the 9 year old gave it the big thumbs up!! 
Thank you!
I just have to remember to leave some gaps for the air in the varoma to get the rice cooking
If you double the tapioca it will thicken the sauce a bit more. Hope this helps!
The Cauliflower rice was a really nice change to normal rice, but my sauce was a bit bitter and runny. Any comments on how to change this? Thanks.
Terrific recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Great recipe - thanks for sharing
