yes, it is a good product to make chutneys. To have visible pieces of cilantro, chilies, etc., try pulsing few times, if you keep on pulsing or keep on pressing the "on" bar, it will keep on "grinding", and the ingredients will blend in with the whole thing that you already put into the container and will turn mushy or creamy like appearance showing just specks of the herbs and spices. For chutney, usually the herbs and fruits are visible in small pieces, so I would apply few pulses. and this is adequate.

Yes and no. It does an amazing job of chopping but if you are not careful it will chop it to mush. Do little groups at a time with a gentle touch and you should be fine. Its an amazing cutter but you need to watch carefully the amount of time you grind.

Absolutely! You need just about a teaspoon of the coconut ghee. Especially good for making coconut rice in the cooker using basmati rice, coconut milk, a tiny bit of sugar, salt, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, whole cardamom, a bay leaf, a tsp of coconut ghee. Coconut oil has a very distinct flavor, especially when mixed with ghee.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I purchased it originally to mince cilantro to make guacamole. It is so much faster than using a knife or scissors. I simply strip the leaves off fresh herbs and roll over then several times and I'm done. I'm sure you'll be happy with this purchase.

Yes, and very good ones. Never had an issue. I made spinach, apple, pineapple, nectarines, peach, strawberry, banana, and any combination with protein powder. You put the soft ingredients in first, and the hardest last, topped with a few ice cubes and a couple tablespoons of juice or water or milk. While it is blending, you may need to shake the entire unit like a martini shaker once or twice to be sure all the ingredients drop to the blade. I love this thing! I use it to grind coffee and scramble eggs, as well as other small tasks.

Haven't tried that, but I'd think not. I don't make veg powders often, but I do make my own chili powder with peppers and herbs from my garden. A method that works for me is to dehydrate everything (I bought a dehydrator in a thrift store for about $12), measure it out, then pulverize it in batches in a blender.

I would say you can with all EXCEPT lemongrass. That one burns a little when used topically. Be sure and use a quality oil like coconut make the blend smoother and not so harsh.

I used it to chop down an apple tree, so a coconut (or durian) should be no problem. Just beware the sharpness, and be sure to stabilize the coconut so that it doesn't roll.

I have not tried a half recipe yet but I plan to. I dont see why it wouldnt be fine as long as all the ingrediants are cut in half.

Hi, no it is just the most delicious curry ever!!!!! The flavor of all the spices make this one of the best curry mixtures. I always cook lots of garlic, fresh ginger and onion and hot peppers (serrano, thai bird, or your choice), before adding the curry powder (dissolve the powder in a small amount of water to make a paste...add to pan and then add more water or stock to make a gravy and let it cook for a while to let the spices become aromatic). hope this helps....:)

While I haven't put a spoonful in my mouth, when I use it to cook it gives my veggies a slight coconut flavor. Since it's half ghee, it can be a medium coconut flavor to a barely noticeable coconut flavor depending on what you're cooking.

Ihave used the coconut flour mixed with garbanzo flour and seasoning to fry chicken & pork chops and also steak!

I'm sure you could. I've been using it to chop up cilantro and other herbs. The blades are sharp so be careful cleaning it.

Yes, you can cook with it and I have used it. It gave a nice light coconut flavor to chichen.

I have never tried chopping those items, but it has no problems with large pieces of other vegetables such as onions so I would thing it would work fine.

Absolutely. It works well for stir-fry, curries and many other types of foods.

Yes, this would work for any of those things. I would just make sure you have a neutral adjunct grain like rice to run through it after spices so you don't have cracked wheat tasting like cinnamon or cloves.
