Small blender

[oblio]

I have recently started cooking Indian food and many of the recipes require marinades to be made however they are in small quantities so I need to blend them. The problem with this is that our blender is a 'normal' tall one which is great for larger quantities but not so good for small stuff. It appears that the blade is too high in the base to properly mix the ingredients.

Can anyone recommend a small blender with a low blade?

Or are we looking at a large mortar and pestle?

Thanks

We have one similar to this and it’s great for small quantities.

Where did you get yours? They all seem to be in the USA...

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I use one of these for exactly the purpose you describe:

Works a treat, and the metal tub is great for blending hard stuff like spices, breadcrumbs etc.

Wouldn't a NutriBullet do the job?

Don't people often use coffee grinders for this?

I've had this little chopper for a few years, really good for finely chopping things like tomatoes, spring onions etc..

Also got an older version of this which will completely blend if required

Buy once:

If that is a bit steep then the Braun Multiquick 5 is a great product.

Thanks all

Plenty to look at here...cheers

I think it all depends on the height of the blade really when it comes to blending small amounts. Logic would suggest that a hand held one would suit as the ingredients could be pushed into the edge of the bowl to get mushed up...

We use one for grinding spices.was cheap ,less than £20. We also use a small blender,which funnily enough had just packed in,so will be on the lookout for a new one
