Why Elgi Ultra Perfect plus wet grinder is better for Idly, dosa / dosai, vada, batters? 

Thank you Aratiji for your compliments. Please subscribe our channel and watch other videos

You are most welcome. I believe technology cannot beat our traditional way of cooking. Traditional way retain taste and nutrition. Dosa and Idlis made using wet grinder tastes much better than the ones made using mixer grinder.

@@aonehelp Absolutely Yes, Though I felt it but just did not use the big size Wet Grinder for 20 years. Your first lines just shook me up. When I ate the first Dosa from wet grinding I confirmed your words, then the Coconut curry ( coconut, onion, red Sankeshwar chillies , garlic , etc). Thank you so much, You so excellently explained

@@rudrarishi2523 We have never tried chutney in wet grinder but after reading your message, thinking of trying.

@@aonehelp my Native is Sawantwadi, South Western Maharashtra bordering Goa. We cannot live without coconut. There are 2 types of curries or Sambharas. 1) made with Garam Masala. Coconut grated + Onions are fried and kept aside and can be made into paste in wet grinder , garam masalas can be added in whole form or powder form are added we call it ' Malvani Masala " . One use this whole thing for all pulses and non veg recipes 2) red Sankeshwari + Kashmiri chilies + onions + garlic + coriander seeds + black pepper + coconut grated . All in paste by wet grinder. This is used to make fish curries and or with drumstick + raw mango Both taste awesome and out of the world with wet grinder. I have the Olden Time stone grinder of my Mother. As well as the black stone. Black stone grinding I learnt from my grand mother. You have a scientific mind. Excellent sentence formation when you speak. 🙏

@@rudrarishi2523 Thank you so much for the recopies. Will definitely try.

Thanks Yash. Please subscribe our channel and also watch other videos, share them with others if you like.

Most welcome. If you have tips, let us also know the same:)

I understand. Yes I had seen the old model (though I am not able recall which make it was) its stones are really heavy to handle. That is the reason we were reluctant to go for grinders but now realy feeling relaxed. Yes the attachment for cleaning is helpful. If you are buying it /anything online, please use the links given in the video description so that you can support our channel without spending anything extra.

Thank you ji:)

Thank you. I do not know Tamil :(

No not at all. Anyway we are washing only the grinder part not the whole body. Even if we drop water nothing will happen

Hi mam, I bought perfect + it was nice.. thank u mam...

@@manamdevi You are most welcome.

Sorry for the late reply. We have purchased this grinder 3 years back and till today, we did not face any problem. Not even once. So no question of servicing. After studying different models, we felt perfect plus is a better choice.

Yes of course if the quantity is sufficient. We made coconut chutney (we have put small small pieces of coconut) few times. Generally we make very small quantity of chutney, hence not using the grinder for chutneys often but yes definitely the taste of chutney will be better than what we make using mixer grinder. Now there is a discount of 5% for this grinders in Amazon. If you are buying the grinder, I request to use the amazon link in description below our video.

Yes, We are using it from more than 2 years. It is working perfectly fine. Really happy with the product.

We have not used this model so cannot comment.

Obbattu Hoorana is a tricky stuff because it is in between "Dry" and "Wet" Grinding! So I am in a confusion which one to use! It is a thick paste, so it may not flow easily between the stones in the wet grinder, so may not get ground properly. Whereas dry grinder can grind it well but the heat and the thickness of the paste can affect the taste and also can cause problems to the grinder! So please suggest what to do? Should we stick to the manual rubbu gunDu stone which can done all the multipurpose tasks, all kind of batters, grinding, crushing, etc? How good the life was before without machines I guess!

Not tried this so far. However we tried Moong dal halwa. Moong dal was soaked for few hours and ground so boiled toor dal we shud be able to as it must have absorbed enough water and must have softened since we boil it before grinding. Still I think if you are making a enough quantity of obbattu or making obbattu very often, then its worth trying or else 'rubbu kallu' is definitely better. If you want, I will try to grind boiled dal and revert shortly. Since this grinder has timer, its really easy to maintain the consistency. We always put the timer and does not bother to attend till the grinder stops :).. Initially I was in a dilemma whether to go for timer or not but now I feel its worth. Let me know if you want me to try boiled dal. (Though I do not know how to make obbattu).

Thanks for the quick reply! I wouldn't have minded using Rubbu kallu occasionally (or even for all tasks), but my mother is aged now and I can't ask her to do it now (still she did fantastic obbattu last time when the grinder motor burnt, it reminded me my childhood days!) My wife and sister are not into it and would always prefer machines (Can't argue with them when even myself am dependent on mobiles, PCs, bikes, cars :))) ) But at least I will invest on anything by making calculations! So please don't mind and I will be very thankful to you if you can try obbattu hoorana. The actual one and not just boiled dal... It is boiled toor dal + jaggery + dry coconut (not raw one, it increases the paste thickness further) + cardamom. This is the stuffing for obbattu. It will be very hard paste. Toor dal should be semi-cooked, because it will be fully cooked later on the pan when it goes as stuffing inside dough! Also over cooking will make it too soft & result in thin paste! Further you should not add much water (moisture should come only from jaggery) This is going inside dough as stuffing, and I guess you understand that it should be pretty thick! The extra water left out after cooking toor dal + the left over paste in the stone should be washed out and it can be used to make obbattu saaru/sambar which is another nice dish or you can discard it if you are not interested! Please try this entire thing (or see if your friends have tried it). I can assure it will be very tasty and even if you don't know to make obbattu you can just eat the stuffing as it is (especially kids will love it, and it is very nutritional as well!) I will definitely follow your link to purchase the grinder if I do decide to buy it :) I did purchase Elgi Dry grinder from amazon itself (local shops here do not sell Elgi products) I think this company (who are not known to mass) don't spend money on advertising & forced promotion, but invest everything on quality & rely on customer satisfaction + word of mouth, which is good! Thanks for all the help! Which state you belong to? (You have not prepared obbattu? but I hope you have tasted it)

Please try it with minimum proportion so that you won't waste much ingredients. You can try later if you like it, thanks!

I will try and let you know. I might take sometime. Yes, Elgi is a very trustworthy company based in Coimbatore. Sometime back, we have purchased Preethi mixer grinder from Amazon only as it was not available in local market here. Even Preethi do not advertise much and I am really happy with the product. I believe in companies who spend their resources on the product and not on marketing :) I will revert soon after trying obbattu :)

Glad you liked it

Timer will activate itself as per the time set during last grinding. I usually set it for 10 minutes so as soon as I switch it on, it will be automatically set to 10 min, I just have to press power button to start. This timer is really lifesaver at least for me. I switch on the grinder, close the kitchen door and will be busy somewhere else, even watch TV :):) I was reluctant to go for this model since I was thinking timer is not needed but now I feel, we have made the right decision even though we have paid 500 Rs extra (This model has 10 year quarantee). You can set the timer once and forget it. You can set it to maximum time that is 99 minutes and can switch off anytime in between as per your choice If you want to buy the grinder, this is the right time since Amazon sale is going on and at tpresent the price is 7920 Rs compared to regular price of 8590.

Only wet grinding is possible. I think for net butters, dry grinding is required which is not possible in this grinder

I have seen so e videos on using stone gri ders to gri nd nuts but not sure whether it would be able to grind without any liquid. May be can add some oil in small amounts if it's ok. Just google and check whether if anyone tried in these kinds of grinders.

I researched a lot and found that Elgi ultra perfect plus is better choice. Till now we are not facing any problem.

We can use this only for wet grinding.

U mean the quantity? U can give a rest for motor in between and can grind enough quantity.

It is possible only if you grate the ginger and put it for grinding. Also if you are making suficient quantity of this paste, then it is worth to grind in this wet grinder. We tried making cocount chutney. We have put very thin and small slices of cocount still it was unable to grind since the pieces used to go below the conical stone and was lifting the stone. Ultimately we have to grate the cocount and then ground it. But the chutney was really very tasty and was far better than the chutney we make using mixer grinder.

@@aonehelp thank you.

You mean vada batter?

No site link. You can see the amazon link in the description of the video, you can use the same.

We are using this grinder from past 6 months and we use it very regularly. We have not found any problem so far. We even grind rice separately for 'neer dosa' and its perectly fine. We also tried to grind 'coconut' by putting small pieces of coconut which it was unable to grind. Then we grated the coconut and then grinded it and the chutney was really tasty.

Ramya Ramesh Actually I m searching for post who are facing any problem like in our house . When we put rice and urad dal together it takes long time to form batter that to, it will be not smooth. Grinder making noise and it's get heated and we have to stop it for while thereafter we are re-starting again . I think we have wasted money on this .

We do not have coconut scrapper

How old is your grinder and how many hours you soak the daal before grinding?

I have same problem overheating motor

Just 2years

Not much idea since I could not find any technical details about this grinder as it is not listed on Preeti official website. We opted for Elgi Ultra because of their conical grinding stones, Elgi's reputation and also the timer.

No not at all.We use at least thrice a week. It will take hardly 5 minutes. Or if soak the grinding wheels in water for sometime, it can be cleaned within 2 minutes.

This is a product extensively used in southern parts of india. I have been using since 15yrs.. very easy to clean and maintain.

Yes it is very easy to clean.

I loved the voice as well as the presentation. It's south Indian accent so you are finding it different.

@@shashikantsinghal7796 Im south Indian.

Thanks for the compliments. Since my prononciation is different, I always try to provide subtitles along with th video

Which one is better ultra gold or ultra perfect plus? I can see that perfect + only has a timer as an extra feature. I can get gold at a reduced price.

We went for Perfect plus because of timer and 10 years warranty whereas gold has only 5 years. You are right there is a considerable price difference. Compared to Elgi, prices are less on Amazon. ( amzn.to/2IRYgEY )
