Exactly, if you don't have the money for a blender you can go for both the mortar and it's pestle to help out.

[Nsikan]

That is what we have been using in my country for years. It must be part of every home in my place. Mortar and pestle has outlived civilization.

[augusta]

Exactly, Nigerians don't joke with mortar and pestle. We use it to majorly pound a lot of things.

[aovurevu]

This has been one of the ways we cut cost in my country, we prefer buying them in their original state and doing the processing ourselves as that seem to yield more and also at a lesser cost and even make it fresh.

It is not easy to find some spices in their original form in my country, I can find ginger, curcumin and pepper mills to grind at the time of use but these are expensive. I wish we have here street markets where all sorts of things are sold, including spices, it is so much cheaper in those places.

[Inem]

We rather have them in their raw form in my country. And they are not expensive.

I manual pound a lot these days as light is becoming an issue and I don't have a problem with it

I also often use a blender, if what I need to puree is quite a lot, to save more time and effort. And I use a manual pounder, if what I have to grind is small to save more electricity.

My blender is just lying there unused. I just use it for smoothies which I cannot manually pound. But other cooking stuffs, I pound them.

[augusta]

With turning them into powder you would be able to store them properly just the way you want.

[Vehlijanta]

This way I get fresh products and they are cheap too as compared to brands available in market
