      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.

You can reduce the chilli if necessary. 2 chillies with seeds makes this dish quite hot.

Water can be reduced if you like a thicker dal

Chat masala and other spices used can be purchased from Indian grocery stores.

  • I chopped, giner, garlic, onion and green chillies...

    I chopped, giner, garlic, onion and green chillies together for 5 sec/spd 7, sauted all these ingredients for 7 mins on 100/spd 1.5. Followed the rest of the recipe and cooked for 30 mins. Turned out well for a Daal soup.
