@gulabjamun...
Madhu, as for ur mw cooking n no-grind recipes- I've not cooked much using mw except for steaming vegs,making pappads, cakes,rice,tea etc... full fledged Indian cooking panninadhu illai... But I guess u can make all variety rice using mw... and also aval, upma, semiya stuffs...
If u can't use mixie, u can grate onions and tomatoes where onionn paste n tomato puree is called for... esp for North Indian recipes...I am not sure if u can use grater as U r still recovering from chikunguniya...
Use readymade masala powders/homemade kuzhambu milagai thool for making kuzhambu... aachi and sakthi masala is good... I use sakthi chicken masala to make many veg gravies...
U can use coconut milk that comes in packets...kara is a good brand and it's available in India now...
U can also use coconut powder mixed with water...I have used it once and it was good.
U can also use cashewnut powder, pottukadalai powder to thicken gravies... But I am not sure f u can get readymade ones...
Though the taste will not be the same like freshly ground curries, I guess healthwise it's always better than the eatouts...
you can also consider buying an electric stove or rice cooker if u don't have access to a stove...

Chettinad Black Channa curry(from Solai's kitchen)
I tried this kondaikadalai kuzhambu from Solai aachi's blog and it turned out awesome... very easy to prepare aswell.... Thanks a lot aachi for the recipe...

Coriander powder-2 tablespoon
Tamarind-very little (2 sulai)
To season
Cinnamon-2 pieces
Clove-2

I used brinjal(cooked separately and then added to the curry) instead of potato... you can even skip that and make it with channa alone...
