Herb Mix Guide
It is important to know that when using different kinds of herbs in your soup, you can readily prepare an herb mix to your liking with Usha's mixer grinder. These different herb mixes can be easily stored in an air-tight container, which can later be added with butter to temper the soup.
To grind different types of herbs together, always ensure they are completely dry with a dry container and blade. If the herbs, while in the grinding process, get wet, the herbs will grow mouldy due to moisture.

Shredded Chicken
A mixture grinder for shredded chicken can be tricky when adding to different soups and stocks to complete your dish with the protein. People mostly get confused with different types of speed settings and modes to get the texture of shredded chicken. While you don't need to do it manually, a certain trick can help you with your mixture grinder and shredded chicken for soup bases.
Always have a 5-second rule when grinding the boneless chicken pieces in your mixer grinder. Count to five at the lowest speed settings, then check on your desired texture. Repeat if you want more thinner shreds.
Purees
One of the major things about different types of gravies and soups is that they have a specific base, either made by grinding different types of veggies together or a single vegetable into a slurry. In both cases, you must completely blend your initial base of veggies into a fine, thick paste, also known as puree, to accompany your soup as a final dish.
Always follow the instruction guidelines while blending different types of veggies. Check the different portions while preparing large batches in a mixture grinder.
Pastes
Vegetables or herb pastes are typically used in soups and stocks in really small quantities because of their potent flavours. Garlic or ginger paste can be made in large batches for longer use in the kitchen for these dishes.
Never add additional water while grinding any paste if the vegetable has moisture in it. Wet ingredients do not need additional water. Simply put up garlic in your grinding container and grind for a few seconds until it is chunky enough to your liking. It is the same with different kinds of fresh leaves and other herbs, too.
Seasonings
While preparing different kinds of seasoning mixes and spices, you need to always be careful about the instructions for grinding specific spices. Soft-grinding spices such as cardamom are easily grindable in moderate-speed settings. On the other hand, when you grind cinnamon to make cinnamon powder, the cinnamon sticks make it difficult to grind in the same settings. Cinnamon sticks are quite hard to grind, and it is a must to use the highest settings for a few seconds to turn them into a fine powder. Be mindful of the spices you are mixing and roast them well, following the instruction manual carefully for your soup and stock bases.
Usha's Mixer Grinder provides different modes and settings that you can easily opt for while making delicious soups and gravies, and exploring different recipes. Try out the different hacks mentioned above for a smooth experience.
