The recommendation

These are not substitutes. If you cook Indian food you need a mixer grinder, and a hand mixer will not stand in for it on any task. Buy a hand mixer in addition, if you bake — it whips and creams far better than a mixer grinder ever will, and costs a fraction.

Common questions

Can I whip cream in a mixer grinder?

It can be done in short bursts, but the blade speed tends to turn cream to butter before it holds peaks. A hand mixer gives you control a grinder does not.

Can a hand mixer grind spices?

No. Beaters cannot break down dry spice, and trying will damage them.
