Yes, I think Jo's site may have been the first place I heard about the tmx while researching different dairy free milks. It has been a valuable resource for me over the last few months.

The tmx makes a huge difference for families with dietary restrictions. Some friends have asked for recipes of food that I have made them, but is nearly impossible to get the same results with a food processor or blender.

Thanks judydawn. I'm sure I would've forgotten to use reverse. One of the first meals my husband prepared in the tmx was pasta, and he forgot to use reverse, so we both learnt from that!

Sorry, not casa, it is actually calas. Here is a recipe I found online:

Calas, another New Orleans tradition, is a breakfast fritter mixed with cooked rice, flour, sugar, and spices, and then deep-fried. According to "The Dictionary of American Food & Drink," the word Calas was first printed in 1880, and comes from one or more African languages, such as the Nupe word kárá, or "fried cake." African American street vendors sold the fresh hot calas in the city's French Quarter, with the familiar cry, "Calas, belles, calas tout chauds!"
 
Ingredients:
•2 cups cooked rice, cooled
•3 eggs, beaten
•1/2 cup granulated sugar
•1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•1/2 to 1 cup flour, just to make a good batter
•oil for deep frying
•confectioners' sugar

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and baking powder. Add just enough flour to hold batter together. It should drop from a spoon and stay together. Heat oil in the deep fryer to 365°. Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry in small batches until golden brown and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and generously sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Having read this recipe I guess I could just throw it all in the thermomix bowl and see how it goes! I'm not keen on deep frying, though, so may try shallow frying in coconut oil.

Hi everyone,

We bought a tmx about 3 months ago after hearing about them on various cooking blogs. I spend a lot of time preparing food as I have a gluten free husband, gluten and dairy free 3yo, and additive free 5yo. The TMX has been a great help for making dairy free milks, custards and sorbets. This forum has already been useful when I've been looking for particular recipes - I've found that most common recipe adaptations are on here somewhere! It was also helpful when we were deciding whether or not to buy the TMX, so keep up the good work everyone!

I've joined because I was looking for a TMX recipe for casa - fried rice fritters (a great way to use leftover rice). Has anyone attempted this?

Many thanks, Julie-Ann
