Making a quick dosa or a cheela has never been easier. A premade batter or a premix can be prepared in advance to bring it out while cooking a bachelor-friendly meal for one. The batter can also be whipped out to make vadas or idlis while hosting friends and family for an International Men’s Day hangout session. Using Usha's mixer grinder would make this process so much smoother – a no fuss, finely ground premix batter can be stocked up on, to make fresh, crispy and utterly delicious recipes in the most time saving manner possible.
Pakora Batter
Pakoras are one crispy delicacy which never seem to go out of vogue. And when the pakora mix is pre-made, all one needs to do is add a bit of water to it, to turn it into a wet batter ready for frying. Make this premix by mixing different types of flours like gram and rice flour together, in a mixer grinder, with just a little bit of water. The batter rests well for at least a day in the fridge so it can be brought forth while making a snack for one on a winter evening.
Cheela Batter
There’s nothing more satisfying than taking a bite of a well-made, crispy cheela dipped in fresh mint chutney. And the easiest, low-prep way to make warm cheelas for breakfast or evening snacks is to keep the batter ready ahead of time. Use besan flour and water to make the cheela and grind it with chillies and a bit of garlic in a mixer grinder to integrate the mixture. Store in the fridge and bring the batter out to spread it on a hot tava whenever you want to make these savoury pancakes.
Idli And Dosa Batter
Use a mixer grinder to prepare this simple batter and store it as the go to option for making warm idlis and crispy dosas whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Rice and urad dal must be soaked in water to make this premix. Add to it just about a fistful of puffed rice for that airy finish. Once soaked enough, grind the mixture in a mixer grinder, adding cold water as required and leave it to ferment overnight. This idli and dosa batter can be stored in the fridge for at least 2-3 days to make fresh southern Indian repasts for your men’s day celebrations.

Mixed Millet Batter
Use a combination of ingredients like ragi, rice and urad dal to make this mixed millet batter. Grind the soaked grains in the mixer grinder and store in the fridge. The millet batter can be used to make pancakes by adding chopped onions, carrots and other assorted veggies to it or it can also be steamed to make warm idlis served with ghee. Alternatively, dry the millets and grind them in the mixer grinder to make a mixed flour. Add water to the dry flour to make an instant batter and make cheelas, thalipeeths or idlis as quintessential bachelor’s meals-for-one.

Medu Vada Batter
Use urad dal in a higher ratio than the rice to make the medu vada batter. Once the grains are soaked well, use the mixer grinder to turn them into a slightly coarse batter. Grinding in the mixture creates aeration leading to a smooth, slightly frothy paste. This batter can be stored in the fridge to be used for making medu vadas served with delicious coriander chutney and warm sambar.
