      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.

Tip

Use the tandoori chicken on my other recipe

The fenugreek leaves make the dish - you can get them from an indian grocer, same with the mace

    Tried this recipe tonight, it's the bomb. I've been trying to recreate restaurant butter chicken for ages and this recipe is hands down the best I've tried. Thank you! Love it!

  • Yum! This is my old butter

    Yum! This is my old butter chicken recipe before getting my Thermy. So happy you have converted it. Biggest thing for me (as per the old recipe) is too much cardamon. Maybe bruising it and adding it later but definitely not that much and not ground. Otherwise the best I've had ever.

  • I wasnt able to get any

    Submitted by Megan000 on 27. November 2015 - 15:56.

    I wasnt able to get any fenugreek but the dish was still delicious. My father has travelled through india and loves indian food. He was very impressed with the level of flavour and piquancy in this dish. This is the dish to try if you want a more authentic expereice rather than some of the more popular recipes!

    I should also add that you must use the tandoori recipe and precook the chicken for the full effect of the dish.

    Yum!
