Hi there,
I've never had a food mixer or blender before, but I'm about to buy one.
I'm making Chicken Thukpa and it involves making a spice paste. The instructions for the paste are:
"To make the spice paste, combine all the ingredients, except the tomatoes, in a blender or food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes and process until combined.
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp chopped ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground Szechwan pepper or white pepper
1 pinch asafoetida powder or dash of garlic powder
1 long green chilli, deseeded, chopped
200 g tomatoes, chopped"
Sounds simple! But I've been researching online and I'm completely confused about what kind of blender I should buy. I don't really want to spend more than $50. There is juice blenders, veg choppers, hand mixers.... Some say they are just for dry chopping, others are just for juices.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
