Starting from making breakfast, be it chopping vegetables for a sandwich, paratha, poha, upma, etc, to kneading dough to make chapatis for lunch, to whipping up chutneys for an elaborate dinner, Indian kitchens are always running. While grandmothers swore by mortar and pestle or sil-batta in the earlier times, with the busy lifestyles, everyone needs a quick fix.
And a food processor is just the right gadget that can take off some of the load. By drastically reducing the time required to prepare a meal, Usha’s food processor can handle multiple tasks like chopping, kneading, grinding, slicing, and so on. So, whether you want to make spice mixes at home or simply want a fresh dough to make rotis, here’s a beginner’s guide to make the most of a food processor.
Pick The Right Food Processor
Amidst various brands and their further food processor models, it’s pretty easy to feel lost. But picking the food processor that is right for your kitchen is essential. For most Indian kitchens, Usha’s FP 3811 Food Processor would be just the perfect fit. It is not only budget-friendly, but also comes with a powerful motor of 1000W. The best part is that the food processor comes with adjustable speed control to help you get maximum control over all cooking processes.
Chopping Vegetables
One of the most time-consuming processes while cooking is endless chopping. The more vegetables you want to add to make your meal nutritious, the more chopping it is going to take. To make the process quick and painless, you can use a food processor, and you’ll get chopped onion, sliced carrot, shaved cucumber, and much more in less than a minute. Just remember not to overprocess, or else the veggies can turn into mush.
Kneading Dough
You no longer have to make a mess while kneading dough. With Usha’s food processor, you can take the plastic jar and add flour, salt, oil, and some water with the kneading blade attached. Turn the switch on, process, and gradually add more water through the feed tube. You’ll see a soft ball forming up in about thirty to forty seconds. You can then take some oil in your hands, pick the dough, and use it to make rotis, parathas, pooris, and much more.

Grinding Pastes
For every gravy-based dish, you need a base made with onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, chillies, etc. To cut your cooking time short, you can make these pastes in advance, freeze them, and use them for about a week. Apart from these, you can also make chutneys, cashew paste for gravies like malai kofta or shahi paneer, and even fine grind masalas with the right food processor attachment.
Save Time During Festivals
India is a country where there is a festival to celebrate every month. Be it Diwali, Eid, Navratri, Onam, or simply a gathering of relatives and friends, cooking in bulk can be exhausting. But you can plan ahead, make the most of Usha’s food processor and save time during festivities. For example, you can finely chop dry fruits for homemade sweets, make purees for rajma or chole, knead dough for modak, gujiya, mathri, and so much more. This way, you can actually enjoy the festivals rather than slog in the kitchen for hours.
