Overview
The Ultra Grind+ Gold is a 2 liter tabletop wet grinder built for grinding soaked idli rice and dal batter, with an atta kneader attachment included for dough. Wired for 110V US and Canadian outlets.
Wet grinders like this are purpose-built for South Asian batter preparation (idli, dosa) rather than general food processing, using a low drum speed to preserve batter texture instead of a high-speed blade. Elgi rates the unit at 30 minutes each for rice and dal grinding, with a 150W motor spinning at 1350 RPM that reduces to 135-140 RPM at the drum once loaded.
- 2 liter soaked rice grinding capacity
- Separate 30 minute rice and dal grind times
- Drum speed of 135-140 RPM under load
- Atta kneader attachment included
Who it's for
Home cooks in the US or Canada who regularly make idli, dosa or similar fermented batters and want a dedicated grinder rather than adapting a blender or food processor. Not a general-purpose kitchen appliance.
Pros and cons
- 2 liter capacity sized for typical idli batter batches
- Atta kneader attachment included for dough
- Wired specifically for 110V US and Canadian power
- Single-purpose appliance, not suited to general food prep
Performance notes
The 150W motor spins at a rated 1350 RPM unloaded, but the drum itself turns much slower, 135 to 140 RPM under load, which is the low, grinding-stone-style action that produces the fine, aerated batter texture idli and dosa recipes rely on rather than the chopping action of a blade. Elgi specifies roughly 30 minutes to grind a batch of soaked rice and a separate 30 minutes for dal.
