Chutneys And Dips
Chutneys and dips are indeed a staple condiment in Indian households. When preparing it in a Usha Turbox mixer grinder, consider using small jars, as these jars are designed for smaller quantities and finer grinding of the ingredients, and help to prevent splattering. You can prepare classic coconut chutney, tangy tomato chutney, fresh mint chutney, and much more. Add a splash of water or oil in between for smoother results. Additionally, use dry jars for blending roasted items like peanuts or coconut slivers. These dips pair well with crunchy snacks and can be stored in airtight containers for 2-3 days.

Smoothies And Shakes
If you're someone who enjoys smoothies or shakes as part of your daily routine, you can blend a glass of goodness in this Usha’s multi-functional kitchen appliance. Use the large blending jars for making fruit smoothies and milkshakes. For a thick, fruity smoothie, customise your blending jars by adding milk or curd to enhance both texture and creaminess. And if you prefer milkshakes, blend chilled milk with ice cream, cocoa powder, or soaked dates. You can even include oats or soaked chia seeds for an extra health boost. The strong blades can handle frozen items, too, so feel free to toss in a few ice cubes. Start with a pulse and then blend for a smooth drink.
Nut Butter And Spreads
Homemade nut butter is easy to make and healthier than store-bought versions. Use the medium jar to blend roasted peanuts, almonds, or cashews. For peanut butter, roast the peanuts first and let them cool. Then grind them without adding any oil—just be patient as the natural oils from the nuts will slowly release. Blend in short intervals and scrape down the sides as needed. You can also add honey or jaggery if you like a sweet version. Chocolate spreads can be made by adding a little cocoa and sugar. Store these in clean glass jars and refrigerate to keep them fresh.

Sauces, Soups, And Purees
The Usha TurboX mixer grinder is also great for blending hot or cold ingredients for smooth sauces and soups. You can puree tomatoes, onions, or boiled vegetables easily in a large jar. Whether you’re making a basic curry paste or a creamy pumpkin soup, the appliance handles it well. Let hot ingredients cool slightly before blending to avoid steam buildup inside the jar. You can make pasta sauces, white sauce for baked dishes, or even smooth baby food at home. If you prefer a finer consistency, strain the blended mix once. For chunkier soups, pulse instead of blending all the way.
