the regular aatta chakki had become too smooth and we could not find a worksman to do the roughening.
in DV's travails around the web, he tracked down this stand up model - wonder mill - a hand operated grain mill.
we have a stand up oil press - piteba, which we have fairly mastered.
and this would be a good companion to the oil mill.
and after using it over the last week, we give it the full thumbs up.
at USD200 it is steep, but hope that a good indian model develops from this.
