Whether you’re making dosa batter or preparing a spicy chutney, the TurboX handles it smoothly. It saves time, reduces prep effort, and gives you consistent results. In this article, you’ll find seven simple recipes that are commonly prepared in Indian homes. Each one becomes quicker and more convenient when made using the TurboX mixer grinder.
Coconut Chutney
If you start your day with idlis or dosas, having coconut chutney ready can be a lifesaver. With the TurboX mixer grinder, you don’t need to scrape coconut endlessly or deal with uneven grinding. Just drop in grated coconut, green chillies, a bit of roasted chana dal, tamarind, and salt. Then blend it smooth or slightly coarse, if that’s how you like it. A quick mustard seed tempering over the top, and it’s done.
Tomato Rasam Base
Instead of reaching for instant rasam powder, you can make a flavourful rasam base from scratch in minutes. Blend ripe tomatoes with garlic, black pepper, cumin seeds, and tamarind water. No straining needed, the mixer breaks down the seeds and pulp finely. This base cooks down quickly and gives your rasam a homemade taste that’s hard to match with ready-made powders. You can even prep it ahead and keep it in the fridge for the next meal.

Rava Idli Batter
Forgot to soak and ferment regular idli batter? Rava idli is your fix. Add curd, roasted rava (semolina), chopped green chillies, grated ginger, and a little baking soda to the jar. The TurboX mixes the batter smoothly without any lumps. If you’re packing it for lunch, toss in some grated carrots or a few cashews for texture. Let the batter rest briefly, then steam it. You’ll get fluffy, soft idlis with minimal prep and without waiting for the batter to ferment for a night.

Smoothies Or Lassi
Blending a quick drink after school or post-workout? The TurboX makes it effortless. For a fruit smoothie, just add mango, banana, or berries with curd and a few cubes of ice. For lassi, use curd with a pinch of salt or sugar and maybe some roasted cumin. What’s helpful is how quickly the appliance gets the job done, even with chilled or frozen ingredients. You get a smooth, cold drink that doesn’t feel watered down.

Onion Tomato Masala Paste
Many Indian dishes, like paneer, rajma, or mixed sabzi, begin with an onion-tomato base. After sautéing onions, tomatoes, garlic, and spices, blend them into a thick paste. The TurboX handles hot ingredients without splattering or sticking, and the resulting masala is smooth enough to use right away. You can make a batch, cool it, and store it for 3–4 days. It’s great for those evenings when you want dinner ready in 20 minutes.
Dry Spice Blends
There’s something special about grinding your spices: stronger aroma, fresher flavour, and full control over what goes in. Once you’ve roasted spices like coriander, cumin, fennel, and chillies, the TurboX's dry jar grinds them finely without heating the mix. You can store your garam masala, sambar powder, or even chai masala in small jars and refill as needed. It's also a good way to avoid unnecessary fillers or preservatives often found in store-bought packs.

Nut-Based Chutneys Or Pachadi
These are not just dips; they can become the main flavour on your plate. For a quick peanut chutney or sesame pachadi, lightly roast the nuts, let them cool, then grind with garlic, chillies, and tamarind. The mixer lets you control the texture, depending on whether you want it smooth for idlis or chunky for mixing with rice. These chutneys are high in flavour and don’t take more than five minutes to prepare. You can also mix them into wraps or use them as sandwich spreads.
