Ultra Pride Wetgrinder

hi,

Regarding grinder :I have ultra pride wet grinder which i got from india.My friend also wants to purchase it.She wants to shop online.Could any one tell me which company is good for wetgrinder ?ultra or pvg?Since everyone in my family use only ultra,i have no idea of the other company's grinders.And also i heard there are two versions of grinders,one already converted to 110 vlts from the company and the other one is the dealer will convert and give us which comes for lesser price?which is better?

Regarding aata attachment: And one more question is i don't know how to use the aatta attachment.I tried using once but the flour was soggy.For how many minutes should i mix the flour in the grinder?And any specific proportions of water and flour to be used?

Awaiting for ur golden replies,
cheers,

haiii all,
i bought ultra wet grider 1.5 liters from india on jan 2007. it was working good for 5 months. after that the drum started giving trouble for me. i will pour some water to start up after that if i add a little bit of urad dal or rice the drum stands still and it wont run. i have to make it run by turning it round by hands. afterwards i started grind a little bit in mixie and started to put it again in grinder. so can anyone suggest me how to overcome this problem.

cheers

Hi Anusha,

You might be aware of these already, but just to make sure you are doing it...hope you are not overloading the grinder. Are you loading both Urad dal & rice together? Sometimes, it is better to try grinding them separately. At the end may be you can pour urad batter and run it for few minutes to mix well with the rice batter.

Also make sure you have enough water while it is grinding. In addition to pouring water in the beggining, you need to keep adding water through out the grinding process.

In spite of all these precautions, if the grinder is giving you trouble, may be the issue is with the motor or the motor belt that is not able to rotate the drum for grinding. It is better to get it serviced. Check out if you have any dealers out here in the US for Ultra grinders to service it? But you know what they will charge you like hell for servicing and shipping it. I would personally go in for a new grinder than servicing this one if it needs to be.
Otherwise, wait for a next trip to India to get it serviced there.

Good Luck with your grinder.
