We have a grinding stone that is a legacy from my husband's grandmother These days we do not have a maid and so that has not been used for a while. Nothing like a grinding stone was proved this morning when we needed a chutney using curry leaves, coriander, coconut and other ingredients. On a grinding stone it would be done in just half an year. But our blender let us down. Here men do a better job of grinding on a grinding stone but they only need to be taught how it is done So I am commissioning our gardener who anyway helps with a lot of kitchen work to finish what the blender could not do. Do you have a grinding stone

The advantage of the grinding stone is that food does not heat up

I count on the machine to do the housework. I have blenders and high speed blenders for different purpose. It will allow me to prepare for the food quickly.

No, it's a shame you can't show us a picture. We have a blender, and we have a pestle and mortar for small quantities.
