Tip
As I cook for a larger family, the bowl does not hold enough room for the whole meal, therefore I cook the chicken first and put it into another bowl/pot and then make up the sauce mix. I pour the sauce over the top of the chicken in another pot so I can make a larger quantity. This recipe can also be made in both size bowls as long as you do not exceed your bowls maximum limit.
When cooking the rice, speed has to be set on 4 to ensure that the rice is cooked through. If not, the top part of the rice may not be cooked properly.
The rice comes out nice and fluffy and not sticky.
1 MC cup makes enough rice for 1 person. However, when cooking for a larger group of people, I use no more than 1 1/2 cups - to just under 2 cups of rice.
Sometimes the potato and sweet potato is not cooked quite enough so I add it to a pot of boiling water and continue to cook it for a few more minutes while the rice is absorbing the coconut milk/cream.
This recipe is not spicy hot but tastes amazing with the lime and coconut flavours.

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!

Absolutely delicious with so much flavour - everyone loved it! And enough left overs for lunches this week as a bonus!
I sous vide the chicken and used the juices from that in place of varoma / water mix, and cooked the potato separately as well then added all together in a pot at the end.
And omg the rice! I'll be making coconut rice that way more often! So easy and so much more flavour than other methods I've tried!
This was delicious, full of flavour!
Better than one bought at restaurant! So delicious!
