      TM 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.

    I agree, this recipe is very bland. Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews before making it. It makes a lot of sauce which my kids like but very little flavour. I don't mind the nuts. I'm going start with adding some tomato paste and see if that helps to jazz it up a little.

  • I will be honest, this was

    Submitted by Boss Bear Sister cooks on 23. October 2016 - 18:28.

    I will be honest, this was the worst butter chicken i have ever made, no matter what i did to save it.... i am not a huge spicy spice person. So thought ok the comments are saying bland etc, how bad can it be? Well it's bad. Def won't be making it again sorry.

    This was very average, thick gloopy sauce, way too nutty.
