Trying the recipe now. I think you forgot to put in the amount of water required to cook the carrots and potatoes. Is the chicken fried or cooked with water?
How’d you go? The chicken is cooked with sauce… This one is an “all-in-one” TMX recipe…
Also, it’s been a while since I’ve cooked this but you shouldn’t need to add extra water as there tends to be a lot of moisture in everything else… I’ll give it a go this weekend to double check…
I am not sure what it is suppose to taste like but my hubs said it was good. I looked at version 1 and it said that it needed 500g of water so worked it out from that amount. Will definitely make it again, just got the thermomix not too long ago so am playing around with it. I added a bit of coconut paste and honey to it too. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Let me know how your second attempt goes.
Hi Lisa, I made this on the weekend as promised (actually did it twice to be sure!) and discovered that there is enough liquid in the ingredients so that you don’t have to add anymore. However, if you want a runnier curry, then feel free to add some water. Have posted a pic on the Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/ifwehavetoeat.
