    Hai Friends,
    I'm using Oster blender for wet grinding..like dosa batter,adai batter, purees,chutney and juices.But,if i try to grind spices, everything gets stuck to the bottom and it's not properly grinded.I am planning to buy a coffee grinder for dry grinding. I would like to prepare masala powders using that.could anyone suggest me the coffee grinders that works well for indian spices?? Thanks in advance.

    You get mini jar for Oster. Its good for grinding dry masalas in small quantities; you can use the same blade which you use along with the big jar - I've used those for a while. Not sure which shops sell those; I bought it from Amazon.

    I have a coffee grinder for years and it works great for my spices. Its just a regular coffee grinder. But If you are buying new I would suggest look for something which gives you fine grind so the spices will be fine powder.

    At our house we recently bought a Mr. Coffee burr plate grinder; It didn't work so well and was grinding things rather coarsely, so we returned it and are trying a Cuisinart grinder which appears to be working quite well.
