Aw!! The tiring chore !!!Posted by Devi (Chennai, India) on 4 August 2016 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio. This is the picture of the grinding stone in which we used to grind rice and lentils to make batter for preparing Dosas and Iddlies for our breakfast. This is a huge one. The ones we used at home were smaller. Now we have electrically operated grinders..we don't have to sit and operate this heavy stone !! Or we have the option of using mixers / blenders where the work gets done quickly:)
