After much deliberation, procrastinating, and eventually, giving up. I found this fellow at the local Costco, with farkle holder, for the price of the Prep 9 and brought it home. I've been saving up recipes ever since and cooking a lot lately. Below is a second attempt at putting to use the indian food tips learned from a Punjabi friend's mother. Bless her. These recipes are amazing.
First order of business - Make tons of "paste". Garlic and Onions are minced up and sauteed in oil. Fresh naked ginger is chopped into slurry is frozen, broken up and tossed in a bag.
Mess from Chopping Spinach
The sauce base consisting of the above aromatics, toasted spices, ketchup (secret shhhh), tomatoes (Canned, though now that I have the chopping machine, why not blitz it? Takes a bit longer to cook is all.) Curry is ready for chickpeas or dark meat chicken when the oil has pooled and separated. I've been told this is how you know it's ready.
Indian flat bread is super easy to make in the food processor. These guys are half wheat, "milled" a bit in the machine first, and half all purpose flour (atta), with a little bit of salt. Streaming in a bit of water while the machine was going on the dough setting made it come together easily. Forget about measuring, just put in how much bread you want to make. 1.5 cups will make about 8 flat breads. also added a tiny bit of oil at the end. Certainly not necessary. I broke them up to rest after kneading, which makes them easier to roll then breaking them up after resting.
In action.
Creamy dal, chicken spinach curry, salad with flax seed oil (someone forgot the vinegar), and bread!
