Simple. It also has fixed blades in the bottom, but I can scrape most of the goodies in a paste out of it with little to no trouble.

Hi Barbara, good to see the blog back! I’m contemplating a wet/dry spice grinder because the old coffee grinder is falling short. I have a vita-mix already, but the fixed blade design means it’s difficult to scrape a paste out of the blender. (I haven’t tried it with small dry quantities.) How easy it is to get a paste out of the Preethi?

Hi Barbara – I also found you through Chowhound, after looking for info on the Sumeet, which I read about in Nila Ipachoria King’s My Bombay Kitchen. Your Preethi sounds great. My blender and FP both died recently so I am in the market for a new appliance. I was wondering whether the Preethi would also work for baby food? E.g. pureeing cooked foods. If so, I think I will bite the bullet and buy it. Thanks!

Luckyfatima–I still love the Preethi, and it is still in good shape. I’ve ground up channa dalia in it with no problem, I use it at least once a week, usually way more than that, to grind up spices for dry or wet masala, and I’ve used to large jar to make smoothies and lassi, and even to make butter from cream.

The only thing I have not done is to grind up the grain and rice for dosa batter yet, because I am just learning about South Indian cuisine and haven’t gotten the nerve to make them yet!
