Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 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!

    Delicious, really enjoyed it. I used less chopping time for my rice to keep it chunkier. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.

    Good flavour and would make again. I used a 400ml can of coconut cream - will use a smaller can next time.  I agree with the comment on the cauliflower, mine was a bit too processed. Wish I'd have read the comments first! I'm new to this and just go on the number of stars!

    Absolutely delicious! This recipe has definitely found a permanent place in our repetoir. The butter chicken tastes authentic, as good as our fave Indian restaurant, and it was so easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Better health with great taste!

    I made cauliflower mush the first time.. Next time, i'll try 3 seconds/ Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 5 on the TM5, it ends up looking more like rice size pieces and cooking it in the Varoma - based on Tim Rombards cauliflower pilaf recipe.
