Chicken in Yoghurt
From the Indian book
Tweaking
I only used 1 chilli, again I think I could have easily used the 2. I left out the fresh coriander as I don't like it at all. I only used 350g yoghurt as I felt that was enough. I used chicken breast cut into 2-3cm pieces.
We really liked this.  I served it with rice and Naan bread. We still had a lot of 'gravy' left so I quickly microwaved some pappadums and we used them to slurp the 'gravy'.

Score 4/5
hi, is there anyway someone could post this recipe as I have a very fussy 4 year old, and it sounds promising!!

Hi Karen, welcome to the forum.  You will find that the TMX recipes need less water than conventional cooking (a bit like slow cookers in that regard) so reduce your liquid and if it is still too watery halfway through the cooking, take the MC off to help a bit of evaporation happen.   I like to thicken most things with cornflour and the extra liquid doesn't bother me - if I am serving the meal with rice, that soaks it up and if with vegies, I freeze excess thickened liquids for another time and use it as gravy on grilled or pan fried meat.
Thanks for your reply Judy.  I think i'll take your advice and start adding some cornflour, as I haven't been adding any water to the Thermomix and i have been cooking with the MC off.  Also, i guess zuchinni's are quite watery and on a stove you can always cook off, but you can't cook off in a thermomix that i have discovered?

Coleslaw

Everyday cookbook page 39

I don't add apple unless it is going to all be eaten the same day as it tends to go brown and looks unappetising - I add a little bit of sugar to compensate along with a handful of Italian parsley with the other ingredients. I usually only make 1/2 quantity and it only takes 3-4 seconds all up.

Couldn't get anything quicker than this salad, it takes longer to prepare the vegies for the bowl than it does to chop them. Haven't mastered the mayonnaise yet so use a bought one.

5/5 for me
instead of the mayonnaise i use about one tablesoon of mayonnaise (shop bought) and about 2 to 3 tablespoons of greek yoghurt. yummy!

Introduce Yourself / Loving my New Thermomix

HI Everyone

I purchased the Thermomix a couple of weeks ago and am absolutely loving it.   I have two young children, 21 months and 4 and a half, so they are pretty fussy, so i bought it in the hope i could disguise veges!

One problem i have had though is a couple of dishes i have made, a mince curry (an old favourite i used to do on the stove with lots of hidden veges) and a beef stroganoff.  They have turned out a bit watery and i have added no extra liquid.  I do use zucchini though.  Does anyone have any tips for me?

Other than that, I have made some great things, love the rolls, the soups and we are a huge fan of the strawberry sorbet!  I definitely have a lot more experimenting to do and intend on searching for lots of recipes on this forum.  I don't normally join forums, but I definitely think I could get some great tips here!

Karen
