Thank you for the recipe…..saw you girls using Magic Bullet to make the marinade….. I’m planning to buy one to grind small portions and would love to know how it works for you..

Hi VS,
Magic Bullet works great for grinding but it will not grind extremely smooth pastes. For really smooth pastes, an Indian spice grinder works the best.

Hetal, can you recommend a good Indian spice grinder that works for grinding small portions cos I have two huge blenders already and it’s a pain to wash them……also where can I buy it……appreciate your help in this matter!!!!

Hi VS,
Some of the larger Indian grocery stores carry a “chutney maker” (can’t think of the brand) but it is basically like a coffee grinder that has a removable canister. If you don’t mind spending a little bit of money, then Premier makes a mixie that has 3 jars (small, med, large) – the small one works well for dry/wet spice grinding. You can look for it online.

Yes, you should be able to use the same marinade but be sure not to overcook the shrimp.

Hi Jia,
As Cylu mentioned, most knives work very well when sharpened. Invest in a knife sharpener. A good type of knife for veggies is a Santoku style or Chefs Knife. Look for a non-serrated edge so that it can be sharpened.

Thanks a lot for all the fabulous recipes… Love you girls and your website.. You are my life savers.. Long ago when I didn’t know about you girls I used to struggle everyday thinking of what to make but now I just have to search for an ingredient available in my pantry and a list of amazing recipes pop up.. Tried this one too, what a quick fix…
Just made a few changes as I wanted to have it with chappati and didn’t have skewers, added heavy whipping cream(little less than half a cup) as you girls showed for the reshmi kabobs and stove cooked it, didn’t dry the pudina paste completely as for the kabobs.. And it was yum… Thanks again for one more awesome prep.. <3

You guys share a great chemistry!
love watching the two of you and of course the recipes are all great.
can I use paneer or potatoes instead of shrimp?

Thanks Shraddha!
Yes, you can use the same marinade for many different things (different veggies, too). The only thing that will change is the cooking time, depending on what you are cooking. Paneer should be approximately the same as shrimp, but potatoes will take longer to cook. Also, potatoes may be better in the oven.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Love your recipes, which are super easy to follow and adapt. I enjoy cooking like you do.
Question for this recipe – Can one substitute dry pudina for fresh? If so, any suggestions on quantities?

Hi Nikki,
We have not tried dried mint leaves in this recipe so don’t have an accurate amount, but it should work. Try adding 1 tsp at a time to the marinade and taste it. Keep in mind that the flavor of the dried mint will release over time.
