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!

Awesome, whole family loved it!
Beautiful recipe. Made the linked curry powder and used it in this recipe. Instead of fresh tomatoes I used a tin of tomatoes and only used 1/3 cup of water to compensate for the juice out of the tinned tomato. Perfect.
Really delicious, everyone in the family loved it! Supper quick as well!
I agree. I have cooked this twice. Gave some butter chicken spice as gifts around Christmas and it turned out delicious both time. Will be a regular in my household and when entertaining.
Butter chicken......heard soooo much about it! Rather exciting. Firstly, I followed the spice mix recipe to the letter. Wow, my kitchen smells AMAZING. (actually, I believe the spice roasting time can be reduced to 6 mins) Toasted spice mix, cooled,milled and jarred. I'm definitely going to make batches of this for friends.
Next I clicked onto the recipe link. Having viewed the other recipes for butter chicken, this resonated with me.
I was skinny with the tomato paste and generous with the yoghurt, and went off piste by adding 50g creamed coconut.......just taste tested resulting curry: FANTASTIC
This is a keeper!
PS no yoghurt seperation.....I love my Thermie
Simple ingredients......amazing results
This was the first thing I made in my thermie and it was devine. I've made butter chicken before but it's never been that good. I used the butter chicken curry powder in the link.
I made this tonight for my husband & I and my gosh! What a fantastic meal!! I made the spice mix at lunch time, then put it all together tonight. And lucky us - we have enough left over for tomorrow night as well. Very flavoursome sauce. Lotsa character and complexity. Tastes like a very authentic curry. I didnt add peppercorns and reduced the chili and it was just right.This one is firmly in my favourites collection. Will def make again (and again, and again...)
Oh bummer! Can I ask how much of my spice powder recipe you used? Usually that packs quite a big punch but you can add more for a more full on flavour. Also did you use the same quantity of cashews? That works as a fab thickener for the sauce usually.. eek! Thanks for the feedback.
Made this for diner tonight, not really a big hit everybody found it too bland and it was quite watery had to add salt to try and balance the flavor and some cream.
Hey nickers15 - this is SO fabulous to hear! We totally do the same when it's just me and my hubby and the sauce defrosts really well for a super quick dinner. Thank you again for taking the time to rate and comment - I appreciate it so much! Nicky xx
