Dinner tonight is Thai Chicken Green Curry making the paste from scratch! I found this recipe on the TM Recipe Community. I have made some changes to it, I used my favorite Coconut Oil instead of the peanut oil, I also used Sweet Potato and Green Capsicum. I added a red chilli for extra heat and did a mix of Coconut Cream and Milk. Again I stuck my nose in too close while making the paste and was hit in the eye's again with Chilli burn! Don't think I will make that mistake again! Overall very easy to make and minimal cleaning up! Just loving this machine so far. Rice turned out perfect using the TM. I did make a boo boo in the first 4 minutes, I did not have the blades on reverse so the chicken was chopped up a little. (The TM has a reverse blade function for cooking etc so you don't pulverize the food!)
Best of all I know exactly what ingredients went into my meal.
