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!

Comments
I used this method for my own version of massaman so I can't comment on the flavour, although they are typical to massaman so I trust the flavours would be great but unfortunately the method needs some tweaking as the beef was tough and the potatoes very under cooked. I even brined the beef for the day to try and keep some tenderness but it was pointless in this situation. Thank you but I wont be using this method again.
Flavour was beautiful, hubby would like more chilli next time as he likes his curry a bit hotter. Next time I will blanch potatoes first as even doing step 7 twice, potato was not soft enough. Will definitely be a regular meal for us.
This tastes excatly like you buy from thai shops. Delicious!! I repeated step 7 after reading the potatoes didnt quite cook.
I tweaked the recipe a bit and it was delicious! Here are my tweaks:
* brown the meat in a heavy pot (a big cast iron pot is perfect) before adding at step 6
* add two finely chopped kaffir lime leaves and about 1/4 cup fish sauce
* return the lot to the heavy pot and slow cook either on a stovetop or on a slow oven (140 deg) for a few hours. You could also use a slow cooker. I cooked ours for about 5 hours and it was delicious.
Serve with sticky rice
well i dont know where i went wrong but this was very watery, very sweet and the potatoes didnt cook
was really looking forward to it. not sure i'll make again. trial and error i guess.
Great massaman flavour but make sure you chop the potatoes really small. I used chuck steak but I reckon I'll use something different next time
Very very delicious, will definitely make again. The only thing I would do different is to keep cooking the meat for longer until it becomes tender if it is not tender after original cooking time, just depends on the meat you get on the day really. Very nice though, thanks for sharing! Delicious.
