Combine the lime juice, salt, chilli powder with the diced chicken pieces in a bowl and set aside.
In the TMX bowl toast the almonds, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, cardamon pods and cinnamon sticks for 10 mins/ 100*/ speed 1. Once cooked add in the ground coriander, cumin and tumeric and mix for 3 secs/ speed 6. Allow to cool for approx 10 mins.
Once cooled turbo the spices for 2 seconds twice. Place half the spice mix along with yoghurt in with the set aside marinating chicken and mix together. This now needs to marinate for a futhure 60 minutes.
Once the chicken has marinated long enough. In the TMX bowl is the leftover spice mix, to this add the onions, garlic and ginger and chop for 3 secs/ speed 5. Add on the oil and fry off the spices for 4 mins/ 120*/ speed 1. Scrap down the sides. Add the chicken marinade mix, tomato puree, tomato paste, stock, water, mustard seeds and chillies to the bowl and cook for 50 minutes/ 110*/ reverse/ speed .5, place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the MC.

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!

The flavours are nice but when at the end I followed the speed directions I misread the small decimal point and used speed 5 instead of point 5...Live and learn hey even though I turned it down eventually it was too late lol..... it chopped all the chicken to shreds....soI now have butter chicken paste instead of butter chicken with chunks....all good though I am just going to add some more chicken....just worked out a little more expensive than I would have liked....
