      Recipe is created for
      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 didn’t use coriander root- completely forgot! But this was still the best massaman I’ve made from scratch. Thanks so much for sharing this, I’ll definitely be making it again! Even my fussy toddler ate up every bite.

    Tastes great, however, there is no indication of when to add the coriander root and the part where you put the capsicum in the simmering basket is unclear. Also don.t know where the tomato goes as there is no mention of what to do with it.
    Despite this it is really nice!😀
