Smile Our family very much enjoyed this meal. The veggie shop was out of snow peas so I used green beans, i forgot to put in the pear (don't you hate it when that happens!). I added a little bit of milk to the yoghurt dressing to make it slightly runnier. I was hoping for leftovers but there were none. The last person commented that her stirring spoon had the tumeric tinge -  the silicon seal in my thermomix bowl lid now has a yellow glow!

I made this for dinner

Puzzled I made this for dinner tonight: it was enjoyed more than I thought it would by the kids!  The recipe was difficult to follow, so I changed things around (eg milled, then dry roasted; didn't clean the bowl at that stage then made the dressing). Was tasty for a first time; next time might add some fresh coriander, & bit more chilli/salt (it just seemed to have 'something' missing, but nothing essential).  Others beware - my stirring spoon now has that tumeric tinge!
