Hi Emma: I think that going for a tone grinder was the best bet to achieve a fine paste. Our goan ancestors did this using a "rogdoh" ( a thick stone base with a cavity where a pestle turn around with the hand in circles) But today you get stone grinders. Which brand did you choose ? Did you bring it with you to UK ? You cannot get them in Brazil. Good luck to you in your endeavours.
Thanks Carlos! I got a stone grinder from the brand Ultra - I ordered it online and delivered from amazon. It certainly does make a fine paste but not the easiest to use to make large quantities - I'd recommend for home use though :)
Hi Emma. Your endeavour and commitment has to be commended! My daughter wanted to make Chutney and get it stocked in a local deli. It was great when it was a few jars at a time (very artisanal) but after a while I was roped in and it got seriously challenging to meet demand. Eventually she ran out of road and the condiment phase ended. So your fortitude is amazing. If you need some willing and helping hands in your commercial kitchen - both I and a friend (who're familiar with kitchen work - competent chefs) would be more than happy to lend a hand. Please reach out if you need some grunt work to give you time to perfect other aspects of your work! mikemckibbin@yahoo.co.uk M: 07792 120277. All power to you Ms R!
Thanks Mike, that's a very kind offer and I will certainly keep you in mind if I need to drag some extra hands in! I absolutely see what you mean about production getting challenging beyond a few jars, I have definitely chosen a product that is very hard to make in any real quantity haha. Appreciate the continued support and encouragement :)
