Preparation
Tip
This is quite a thick soup.
Use the Thai Red Curry Paste from the Thermomix Basic Cook Book, p. 68.
Prefer Ayam brand coconut milk due to quality.
Prefer Pantai Brand chilli paste with soya bean oil due to flavour which is balanced and flavoursome while not having 'blow-your-socks-off' heat. Note this paste is not suitable for people with a shellfish allergy.
Serve with a bread of your choice.

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!
