Choosing a Mixer Grinder

How much wattage do I need?

500W is fine for light daily use; 750W or more handles tough Indian tasks like idli/dosa batter, dry spices and heavy grinding with ease.

How many jars should it have?

Most mixers come with 3 jars — a large jar for wet grinding, a medium jar for chutney, and a small jar for dry spices. A juicer jar is a useful extra.

Mixer grinder vs food processor — what's the difference?

A mixer grinder is best for grinding, blending and making batter; a food processor adds chopping, slicing and kneading. For everyday Indian cooking, a good mixer grinder is the essential.

Which mixer grinder brand is best?

Havells, Bajaj, Philips and Butterfly are all strong choices — match wattage, jars and budget to your needs.
