I created this post - 5 Exciting Ways To Use A Food Processor In An Indian Kitchen for KitchenAid India, a brand I work with as their Culinary Council Member. I've been sent theirย products, andย after trying them out, I love their range, which you can check out here.
Are there any gadget lovers in the house today? Hiiiiiiiiiii there!
I can safely say that over the last two years as food blogger I'veย converted to become a gadget loverย andย hoarder. But all along the food processor was something I always stayed away from, because you know space. Growing up, I've seen my mum struggling to fit a bulky food processor in the limited kitchen space that we had and failing miserably and I had no plans of going through that in my teeny tiny Bangalore kitchen. I own a small littleย Bajaj chopper and while it works, it's now been relegated to the darker corners of my kitchen shelves because it always needs such large quantities of everythingย to do a good job. So when KitchenAid sent me their 14 cup food processor I was expecting a major space crunch.

Mansi says
Hi. I was really happy to find all the ways a kitchenaid would be useful. But i wanted to know if this can be used for grinding dosa batter as well?
Richa says
Hey Mansi, I've honestly never used it for grinding dosa batter, so I can't help you with your query. Sorry ๐
Gayatri pandey says
HI Richa,
First thanks for the informative post.....can u tell me Is 9cup food processor of kitchenaid sufficient for 4 ppl.Also where it should be bought from Amazon or directly from the USA as my husband is visiting there ...will it work in indian kitchen (voltage wise)or should i order from india whats the difference...
regards,
gayatri
Richa says
Hey Gayatri, a 9 cup is more than sufficient for four people. I would recommend buying it from India as voltage in the U.S. is different and the appliance won't work here. You can also buy it from KitchenAid India's website. They offer discounts from time to time so you can actually get a good deal.

Susan says
I'm very fond of my food processor and use it often for a lot of different things. But since you are talking about indian cuisine, I have to ask what I have been thinking about for a long time. Can roti dough be made in a food processor? I've read a lot of recipes about pizza and cookie dough made in a food processor, but never have I come across a technique for making roti dough in it.
Richa says
Absolutely! And if you read the article properly, you'll see that I've mentioned that.
Swatee says
Dear I have a query if the steel blades will go blunt if we use for roti dough regularly
And second question if gluten forms when we make atta in egos processor
Richa says
Hey Swatee, a lot of food processors now come with a dough blade and you can use that. Since we are only running the food processor till the dough forms, it won't form a lot of gluten.

Santhiya says
Hi We are looking for a good processor and then and i studied your blog. Its very useful and i would like to know wheather kitchen aid food processor will be helpful in chopping all indian vegetables like okra and bottle gourd
Richa says
Hey Santhiya, glad you found this helpful! This is a great food processor and should have no problem chopping bottle gourd. Though I've never tried chopping Okra in it so I'm not sure how that'd work.
