  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!

Recipe's preparation

Put garlic in the mixing bowl. Dice 7 sec / speed 7.

Add onion. Dice 5 sec / speed 4, or until diced.

Remove about half the onion and set aside (try not to take the garlic but it's no big deal if you do).

Drain the cashews and place them into the mixing bowl with the tumeric, curry powder, chilli powder, salt, peper, rampe/pandan leaf and the coconut milk (along with the onion/garlic that is still there).

Boil on VAROMA / 1 / reverse for 5 minutes.

Then simmer on 90 / 1 / reverse for 20 minutes with MC on, until the cashews are tender.

Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the chillis if using (cut them in half lengthways), curry leaves, and the rest of the onion.

Simmer on 90 / 1 / reverse for another 2 minutes with MC off.

Serve with a main curry and rice.

Tip

You can get fresh or dried curry leaves and pandan/rampe leaves at asian groceries (they both freeze well).

If you don't have time to soak for 3 hours, soak in boiling water for about an hour, or even 15-20 minutes, but you may need to extend the cooking time.

Note: I found this image on google, it is not a photo of the actual dish, but when I make it it looks very similar to the attached photo. I will try and remember to take a photo next time I make it!
