Introduction


Thermomix TM7 for UK Indian Kitchens: Authentic Flavour, Less Effort
Thermomix TM7 for UK Indian Kitchens: Authentic Flavour, Less Effort

Love Indian food but short on time (and washing-up)? The Thermomix TM7 nails the building blocks—silky base masalas, perfectly tempered spices, hands-off rice and dhal—so you get authentic flavour with less faff. This guide is written for UK & Ireland home cooks with supermarket access (Big 4 + world-food aisles).

1) Master the Base: Two Masalas to Rule Them All


Onion-Tomato Masala (North Indian base)


  • Sauté onions, ginger, garlic to deep gold → add tomatoes & spices → reduce.

  • Batch in TM7 (no constant stirring); freeze in portions for curries all month.


Coconut-Onion Masala (South Indian base)


  • Sauté onions → add coconut + curry leaves + chilli → blend smooth → finish with tempered mustard & urad.

  • Use for korma-style sauces, veg kurma, prawns, eggs.

Tip: Run Thicken for a few minutes at the end if you prefer a jammy, restaurant-style base.

2) Tempering (Tadka) Without a Hob Meltdown


  • Heat oil/ghee on High-heat/Browning.

  • Add whole spices (mustard seeds, cumin), then aromatics (chilli, curry leaves).

  • Immediately pour into the bowl or over finished dhal/raita.

  • For extra crackle, do a pan tadka separately and pour over—your call.


3) One-Pot Classics (Weeknight Winners)


  • Dal Tadka: temper → simmer lentils with turmeric & tomatoes → finish with lemon and coriander.

  • Chana Masala: onion-tomato masala + chickpeas + garam masala → simmer to coat.

  • Butter Chicken (or Paneer Makhani): creamy tomato base, cashews for body, gentle heat so it doesn’t split.

  • Keema Peas: reverse-stir to keep mince crumbly; finish with peas & garam masala.


4) Multi-Level Meals (Sauce + Rice + Veg at once)


  • Bowl: curry sauce & protein.

  • Basket: jeera rice (rinse rice well; add bay, cumin).

  • Varoma tray: cauliflower florets/green beans lightly salted.Everything finishes together—plate up, garnish, done.


5) Flatbreads & Snacks


  • Roti/Chapati dough: short Knead; rest 20–30 mins.

  • Dosa batter: grind rice & urad separately; combine; Ferment mode overnight.

  • Mint-coriander chutney: blitz herbs, green chilli, lemon, peanuts or seeds.


6) Make It Health-Forward (and Budget-Smart)


  • Oil control: precision sautéing = less oil than stovetop guesswork.

  • Protein swaps: tofu, paneer, eggs or lentils instead of pricier meats.

  • Batching: masalas + par-cooked pulses = ready in 15–20 mins on weeknights.


7) UK Pantry Setup (What to Always Have)


Turmeric, cumin (whole/ground), coriander, garam masala, chilli powder, mustard seeds, curry leaves (fresh/frozen), tinned tomatoes, coconut milk, red/green lentils, chickpeas, basmati rice, ginger, garlic, lemons, fresh coriander.
