Product Specification :-

We have seen pounding blades mainly from Maharaja. They are blunt and have four-prong edges. They are used mainly for grinding garam masala, sambar masala and other spices.
Bosch claims that the blunt edges grind in a coarse consistency. And we agree. When we ground garam masala using the regular blades, we got just a teaspoon of coarse residue after sieving. But with the pounding Blade, we got about 3 tablespoons of coarse residue after sieving. 

Bosch further claims that it retains the flavour of spices much better compared to regular blades. This however is something we couldn’t notice. The masala ground using both blades were similar when in terms of flavour and fragrance. The claim that it retains flavour like stone-pound masala doesn’t really hold because when you pound using mortar pestle, hardly any heat is generated. So the masala retains the oil and flavour and releases it only when added to the curry. But when ground in a mixer grinder or even the mill, it heats up in the process and releases some of its oil.
