  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.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

While the rice and lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a frypan on medium-high heat.
Add the cumin seeds and pepper and fry for about one minute.
Add the chopped onions and salt, stirring regularly and and cook until onions are caramelised to a deep brown colour and are a bit crispy. This will take at least 15-20 minutes. If the onions start sticking to the pan, add a splash of water.

Stir rice, and cook a further 12 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse

Meanwhile, prepare tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley.
