      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.

    I added sultanas to the koftas to give them to balance the savory. The seeetness of the sultanas made the lofts really tasty. The sauce needEd a dash of brown sugar to give it more flavoUr. Enjoyed the dish and will definitely make it again!

    I used 1/4 cup cashews.  The Koftas are really yummy. The sauce needs more bang (for my liking).   I would definately make again.
