We used to have the gharghanti n Gujarat but I find the bulk cumbersome and moreover they are not stone ground. Are there good stone ground mills (couuntertop) that we get in India? I am planning to move back to India and want to purchase a European mill such as fidibus classic to take with me but if we get a good one in India I'd rather just buy it there. Any tips/advice would be great. I like to grind my own wheat flour for chapatis and rice flour too. (I am a South Indian who loves her rotis. I am looking for a wet grinder equivalent for wheat flour that we have for idli/dosa) thanks Nirmala Dear Indira

It works great on dry grains. I tried almonds in it and they had too much oil for it to grind properly. Best Wishes! I prefer the Country Living Grain Mill I got from GrindWheat.com.

I would like to ask u more about the grain mill. Is it possible to grind rice flour to a fine texture? Can it be used for making rasam powders etc? I saw some comments on people making peanut butter. Is this possible? I would like to buy one to make fresh powders based on your suggestion. Hi Indira,

My daugther is allergic to Wheat, and most of the other flours like corn I buy from store have been ground in wheat processing facilities. I am hoping that this home mill will work for us. I found the porkert brand on amazon and ordered it. <i>Congratulations on your purchase Bindu. If you have any questions about the grain mill, don't hesitate to mail me or write a comment here.

Please tell me if this mill can make biyyam ravva. Is that consistency possible. Your answer will help me buy this. Thanks. <i>It is very much possible to prepare biyyam ravva with this machine, Shanti. Actually for the first time we made biyyam ravva for upma last week. Ravva is like what we get in India.

I had one question for you regarding Porkert Grinder. I wanted to know whether this grinder grinds for e.g. wheat to a very fine flour and how much does it cost? I checked with Tuesday Morning nearby, but unfornuately they did not have one! I would appreciate your response to my query. Thanks for this informative & interesting article & hope to read more on your website.
