'''Wet grinders''' are very popular tools in the South Indian kitchen used to make paste out of soaked [[cereal|grain]]s and [[lentil]]s. At one time, a wet grinder consisted of a large rock with a hole in it, where a cylindrical rock with a wooden handle fit in. The grain and lentil mixture was poured in with water and the cylinder rotated by the handle on the top to grind the food together. The ground paste is used for various food items like [[idli]], [[dosa]], and [[vada]]. |

Wet grinders are very popular tools in the South Indian kitchen used to make paste out of soaked grains and lentils. At one time, a wet grinder consisted of a large rock with a hole in it, where a cylindrical rock with a wooden handle fit in. The grain and lentil mixture was poured in with water and the cylinder rotated by the handle on the top to grind the food together. The ground paste is used for various food items like idli, dosa, and vada.
The invention of electricity has led to the development of electric-powered wet grinders. These electric models were first introduced in restaurants and later moved into the home. Popular brands include:
*Mantra Wet Grinder - Coimbatore Topping the list
- maruthi wet grinder
- Ultra Wet Grinder
- Santha Tilting Wet grinders
- Premier Grinder
- SPL wet grinders
Most modern models still have stone components for the grinding action. The stone is usually granite stone. The old manual grinding stones used to be refinished for better results. Modern stones usually don't need refinishing and they last much longer.
However, despite these advances in bringing modern engineering into Indian kitchens, there are limitations. A few companies have been noticed to manufacture inferior products that are not robust enough and often fail. This forces the consumer to go back to the old-fashion grinding stone.
- Sowbaghya Wet Grinder
Is one such product. Briefly, in the 1970s, there were wet grinding services offered as well.
