What is you end goal when you select any kitchen appliance? Normally, you seek to facilitate your culinary tasks and some cooking job done quicker. Depending on your needs, you choose the unit power and capacity but, in any case, you reckon on consistently efficient performance. And sometimes it might happen that a seemingly reliable and powerful unit fails when it comes to more heavy-duty tasks, more extensive use, or prolonged operation. Yet, this problem does not refer to the Inalsa Jazz mixer grinder.

What Is a Mixer Grinder?
For Indians, food is an integral part of the culture. They greatly appreciate culinary traditions of their ancestors and even today, many Indian dishes are still cooked following old recipes created hundreds of years ago. Indian food is distinguished by dynamic, rich, tongue-tingling flavours, their unusual combinations, and truly sophisticated use of spices. India is also known as a cradle of vegetarianism. Almost no other nation can cook vegetables, legumes, beans, and all kinds of cereals like Indians do. With a focus on freshly cooked meals and freshly ground spices and herbs, Indian foods entangle a pretty extensive preparation process. Though most Indians give preference to homemade dishes and still cook a lot, in a fast pace of modern life, they have less time on cooking and seek to optimize and accelerate the cooking process without compromising authentic tastes and flavours of the national cuisine. Since ingredients preparation takes pretty much time, it would be reasonable to facilitate this process to the maximum. One of the easiest ways to do it is to get a mixer grinder.
Designed taking into account specific needs of Indian cooks, a mixer grinder is a tabletop kitchen appliance combining mixing, grinding, chopping, blending, dicing, and sometimes even juicing functions. Usually, it consists of a steady base encasing an electric motor and several interchangeable jars with rotating blades on the bottom operated by the motor. Looking somewhat like a mere smoothie maker and without taking much space on your countertop, this unit will let you quickly grind spices, herbs, and sugar to a fine powder and cook anything from smoothies, sauces, and chutneys to ginger paste and even knead the dough.
If you wonder how to choose a mixer grinder for your home needs, below we've compared top 5 mixer grinders to guide your choice and help you make up your mind.
What Features to Compare
A mixer grinder is not a kind of a sophisticated appliance. Featuring a simple design and comprehensible operation, it might seem pretty easy to choose. And it really is, yet, there are still several key points to consider to pick up the best mixer grinder that will meet all your needs and expectations.
Design and Package
Most mixer grinders are pretty compact and will perfectly fit even into concise kitchens. The unit base and jar lids are usually made of durable and shock-proof plastic while mixing bowls and blades are manufactured from solid food-grade stainless steel to withstand extensive use, powerful blades rotation, and prevent oxidation and odour absorption. The cutting blades are normally machine ground from first-class stainless steel and specifically designed for different cutting tasks.
It’s worth mentioning that actually there are two types of mixer grinder machines. You can opt for either a mixer grinder or a juicer mixer grinder. Basically, both types look pretty much the same and come fitted with several jars varying in capacity and meant for specific tasks. The only difference between two types is that a juicer grinder is also complete with a special juicer jar made of premium plastic with a mesh filter inside for squeezing fresh juices.
A standard mixer grinder set contains at least two jars, one for wet grinding and the other one for dry grinding. Yet the more jars the package contains the greater functionality you will obtain. As for the capacity of the jars, if you have a large or joint family, pick up a heavy-duty mixer grinder with larger bowls but if you live alone or in a smaller family with a spouse and a kid, a small-sized appliance with two smaller jars will be enough.
Power and Speed
The motor power of your mixer grinder defines how quickly you can accomplish your food preparation tasks as well as the quality of final results you will get. The power of home-grade units commonly varies from 400 to 750 Watts, with 500 Watts being more than enough for average daily kitchen tasks. The range of speeds typically offered by Indian mixer grinder machines is from 5000 to 20000 RPM. Yet, it should be noted that too much speed is not good and for normal kitchen tasks, 10000 RPM is usually sufficient.
It is highly recommended checking that your mixer grinder features a variable speed option. Most models provide three speed levels controlled by a single dial knob. It will give you better control over the unit operation and help you achieve effective results with different ingredients, from soft to coarse ones. Besides, you can come across a Pulse option designed for chopping delicate ingredients without turning them into a paste and whipping shakes or cocktails.
Usability
The usability features of mixer grinder machines include a non-slip ergonomic handle on a larger jar, tightly closing lids for all jars included in the set, non-skid rubber feet for stability, and a motor overload protection for safe and flawless unit operation.

Six “Shades" of Garam Masala
India is known for growing and producing the whole myriad of spices, many of which are native to the subcontinent while others were imported from other countries and have been cultivated here for centuries. Cinnamon and coriander, cumin and curry, cardamom and mustard seeds, all kinds of pepper and saffron, all of these and a lot more of other spices create the magic of those one-of-the-kind authentic flavours of Indian dishes. Many foreigners think that by simply adding a variety of spices, they can make an original Indian dish and they are absolutely wrong. There is hardly anyone but Indians who can make perfectly matching blends of seemingly incompatible sees and herbs. One of such blends which is the staple of the national Indian cuisine is garam masala. It’s a mixture of dried seeds, herbs, and plants combined in a certain proportion and ground to a fine dry powder. Originally, the blend was ground manually by using a stone or wooden mortar and a pestle. Yet, today, you can grind a fresh homemade garam masala in a mixer grinder machine. Simply put all the spices under the recipe into a dry grinder jar and blend them into a smooth fine powder at the highest mixer grinder speed. Two basic rules to remember before you start grinding is that all spices should be of top-quality, free from stones, moulds, and insects, and slightly roasted on a dry pan to open up the flavours to the maximum.
Below, we’ve collected 7 most popular garam masala recipes you can quickly blend in your mixer grinder:
1. Basic garam masala
For the basic recipe, you should take 3 teaspoons of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds and black cardamom, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 2 teaspoons of green cardamom, 1 small cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon of cloves, 2 teaspoons of mace, 3 bay leaves, and 1 nutmeg. It’s a standard spices blend for a variety of curries.
2. Garam masala for seafood
It contains 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon of cardamom pods, 1 teaspoon of cloves, 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns, 3 dried red chillies, and 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds. This blend will perfectly accentuate sweety and creamy tastes of shrimps, scallops, mussels, calamari, octopus, and different kinds of fish.
3. Vegetarian garam masala
Mix 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds, 2 ½ teaspoons of cumin seeds, 2 bay leaves, and 3 dried red chillies to add a distinct flavour to your salads, soups, veg stews, and dishes with cottage cheese or soft fresh cheese.
4. Garam masala for poultry
Blend a cinnamon stick, 2 teaspoons of cardamom pods, and 1 ½ teaspoons of cloves with 3 stars of anise, 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds, and 2 teaspoons mace blade. Your chicken or turkey, roasted, stewed, or baked, will have an unforgettable taste when seasoned with this masala powder.
5. Biriyani mix
Grind 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 teaspoons of cardamom pods, 4 black cardamom pods, 2 teaspoons of cloves, 1 nutmeg, 3 spears of mace, 4 bay leaves, 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns, 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds, and 1 teaspoon of saffron threads. With this mix, you can make a perfect marinade for chicken or lamb to be stewed with veggies and basmati rice.
6. Kebab Garam Masala
Combine 2 cinnamon sticks, 12- 15 cardamom pods, 2 teaspoons of cloves, 3 mace spears, 5 dried red chillies, 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds, 2 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of saffron threads to end an authentic Indian touch to your delectable kebabs.
Once ground to a fine powder, each of the above garam masala blends can be stored in a tightly closed glass jar for up to 2 months.
