I cook for my church, and I use a lot of your recipes (they love it). Where can I find a large enough pressure cooker that I don’t have to re-use several times in order to make enough for my church family? Also, I use a coffee-grinder that is difficult to clean for grinding my spices. I am not sure the grinder grinds the spices finely enough. Is there a spice-grinder that is not over-the-top expensive that I can purchase?

In reply to June.

Hi June,

We have an Indian Mixie type grinder that has a small jar for grinding wet or dry spices. Sumeet or Premier makes good ones – you can find them online. A coffee grinder works well for grinding dry spices but you have to keep one separate for only spices and not grind coffee in it.

In reply to Smita. Hi Smita, Rasam is thin tomato/tamarind flavored soup that is popular in South India. This powder is the spice mixture you use to make Rasam.
