A mixer grinder makes pastes, chutneys and batters. A food processor does the jobs a mixer can’t: chopping onions for a big batch of pav bhaji without turning them to mush, grating carrots for gajar halwa, slicing cabbage for spring rolls and kneading atta for a family’s rotis. If you cook in bulk, entertain often or simply hate chopping, it saves a surprising amount of time.
We compared the specifications, warranties and recurring buyer feedback of popular food processors on Amazon.in from Bajaj, Bosch, Inalsa and AGARO, including combined mixer-and-processor machines, and chose five for Indian kitchens.
Quick answer: the best food processors in India right now
The best food processor for most Indian kitchens is the Bajaj Food Factory FX 11: a 600 W motor with 3 speeds and pulse, a processing bowl plus liquidizing and grinding jars, and atta kneading, from a brand with service across India. Here’s the full shortlist:
- Bajaj Food Factory FX 11: best overall dedicated food processor.
- Bosch PureMixx Plus: best mixer grinder and food processor in one.
- INALSA Inox 1000 Pro: most powerful, for big families.
- INALSA Easy Prep 800 W: best compact budget processor.
- AGARO Delite Chopper: best if you only need chopping.
How we chose these food processors
Full transparency first: this is a research-based guide, not a hands-on test. We compared each model’s specifications on its Amazon.in listing, the warranty and service support available in India, and the recurring themes in buyer feedback, including the complaints. Every model was in stock on Amazon.in when we checked in November 2026. You can read how we work in how we review kitchen products.
One honest note: food processors as a category get lower buyer ratings in India than mixer grinders, usually because of attachments that crack, motors that struggle with stiff atta, or parts that are hard to replace. So we leaned towards brands with service networks and stated warranties, and we flag the weak spots for each model.

The 5 best food processors in India, reviewed
1. Bajaj Food Factory FX 11: best overall
The Food Factory is a proper food processor rather than a mixer with extras, and it has been on the market long enough to build up more than 2,000 ratings at 4.0 out of 5. Its 600 W, 18,000 RPM motor has 3 speeds and a pulse button, and it comes with an unbreakable polycarbonate processing bowl, a 1.5 litre liquidizing jar and a 1 litre stainless steel grinding jar, so it chops, grates, kneads atta, blends and grinds.
Bajaj Food Factory FX 11
Best for: Families who want a dedicated processor for chopping, grating and kneading
- 600 W, 18,000 RPM motor
- 3 speeds plus pulse
- Unbreakable polycarbonate processing bowl with lid
- 1.5 L liquidizing jar and 1 L stainless steel grinding jar
- Processing, grinding, liquidizing, juicing and atta kneading
What we like
- True food processor with a full set of jobs
- Bajaj service is easy to find
- Long track record on Amazon.in
Watch out for
- 600 W is modest for large batches of stiff atta
- Bulky at about 7.5 kg
- Older design than newer rivals
Who should skip it: Skip it if you knead atta for six or more people every day. The 1000 W INALSA has more muscle.
2. Bosch PureMixx Plus: best mixer grinder and food processor in one
Don’t want two machines on the counter? The PureMixx Plus is a mixer grinder and food processor in one, with an 800 W motor, 5 jars including a 2 litre Insta Prep jar, and Bosch’s claim of 40+ functions: chopping, kneading, slicing, shredding, grating and coarse grinding. Bosch says it kneads dough for up to 100 rotis in 10 minutes, and it carries a 7-year motor warranty. It’s newer, so it has fewer ratings (4.1 out of 5 from a few hundred buyers when we checked).
Bosch PureMixx Plus
Best for: Replacing an old mixer grinder and adding a food processor in one buy
- 800 W motor
- 5 jars, including a 2 L Insta Prep jar
- Chopping, kneading, slicing, shredding, grating and grinding
- Hands-free operation
- 7-year motor warranty
What we like
- One machine for chutneys and chopping
- Longest motor warranty in this guide
- Large 2 L processing jar
Watch out for
- Fewer buyer reviews so far
- Bosch’s speed and dough claims are the brand’s own
- Large and heavy, at about 7 kg
Who should skip it: Skip it if you already own a good mixer grinder. A dedicated processor costs less.
3. INALSA Inox 1000 Pro: most powerful
For big families and bulk cooking, the Inox 1000 Pro pairs a 1000 W copper motor with a 2.5 litre processing jar, the largest here. It has 3 speeds plus pulse, 12 attachments for chopping, slicing, shredding, kneading, whisking and french fries, a citrus juicer, and stainless steel grinding jars, plus overheat protection and a safety lock.
INALSA Inox 1000 Pro
Best for: Joint families, caterers at home and festival cooking
- 1000 W copper motor
- 2.5 L processing jar, 1.5 L blending jar and 2 stainless steel jars
- 12 attachments, including kneading blade and citrus juicer
- 3 speeds plus pulse
- Overheat protection and safety lock
What we like
- Most power and capacity in this guide
- Lots of attachments
- Lighter than the Bajaj and Bosch, at about 4.4 kg
Watch out for
- Buyer rating of 3.9, with fewer reviews
- More parts to store and wash
- Check INALSA service in your city
Who should skip it: Skip it if you cook for two. It’s more machine than a small kitchen needs.
4. INALSA Easy Prep 800 W: best compact budget
The Easy Prep is the most-rated food processor we found, with more than 4,400 ratings. It packs an 800 W copper motor into a compact body with a 1.4 litre bowl and 7 attachments, including a dough maker, chopper, slicer, shredder and french fry cutter. It has 2 speeds plus pulse, an anti-slip base and a safety lock, and weighs about 3 kg.
INALSA Easy Prep 800 W
Best for: Small kitchens and families of 2 to 4
- 800 W copper motor
- 1.4 L processing bowl
- 7 attachments, including dough maker, slicer and shredder
- 2 speeds plus pulse
- Anti-slip base and safety lock
What we like
- Compact and light
- Good power for the size
- Lots of attachments for the price
Watch out for
- Buyer rating of 3.8, with complaints about durability
- Small bowl for big batches
- No grinding jars, so it won’t replace a mixer
Who should skip it: Skip it if you want proven durability. The Bajaj has a better rating.
5. AGARO Delite Chopper: best for chopping only
If chopping onions, garlic and vegetables is the only job you want help with, a full food processor is overkill. The AGARO Delite is a compact electric chopper with a 400 W motor, a 2 litre bowl, 3 speeds, a stainless steel blade, a garlic peeler and a whisk. It’s the best-rated product in this guide at 4.3 out of 5 from more than 4,200 buyers, and it costs far less.
AGARO Delite Chopper
Best for: Quick onion, garlic and vegetable chopping
- 400 W motor, 3 speeds
- 2 L bowl
- Stainless steel chopping blade
- Garlic peeler and whisk included
- About 1 kg
What we like
- Highest buyer rating in this guide
- Small, light and easy to wash
- Low price
Watch out for
- No kneading, slicing or grating
- Easy to over-chop into a paste, so use short bursts
- Not a full food processor
Who should skip it: Skip it if you want help with atta. You’ll need a full processor.
Do you need a food processor or a mixer grinder?
Most Indian kitchens need a mixer grinder first. It handles masala pastes, chutneys and batter, which you make every day. A food processor is the second appliance for chopping, grating, slicing and kneading. If you only want one machine that does both, a combined model like the Bosch PureMixx Plus is the middle path. Our mixer grinder vs food processor comparison goes task by task, and the best mixer grinder in India guide covers the mixer side.
Food processor buying guide: what really matters
Motor power
Chopping and grating need little power, but kneading stiff roti atta is hard work. For regular kneading, look for 600 W or more, and 800 to 1000 W if you knead for a large family.
Bowl size
A 1.5 to 2 litre bowl suits families of 3 to 4. Go for 2.5 litres or more if you cook in bulk. Remember the working capacity is smaller than the bowl size, especially for liquids.
Attachments you’ll actually use
The useful ones for Indian cooking are a chopping blade, a kneading blade, a slicing disc and a grating or shredding disc. Extra attachments look good on the box but add parts to store and wash, so don’t pay for ones you won’t use.
Safety lock and service
A safety lock that stops the motor unless the lid is fitted is essential. Check that the brand has service in your city and that spare jars and blades are sold, because plastic bowls and lids are the parts most likely to crack.
Tips for using a food processor in Indian cooking
- Chop with pulse. Short bursts give you chopped onions; holding the button gives you onion paste.
- Knead in batches. Don’t overload the bowl with atta, and add water slowly while it runs.
- Grate for sweets and salads. Carrots for gajar halwa or coconut for laddoos take seconds.
- Rest the motor for a minute between heavy batches so it doesn’t overheat.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best food processor in India?
For most families, the Bajaj Food Factory FX 11 is a dependable dedicated food processor that chops, grates, kneads atta, blends and grinds. If you want one machine to replace your mixer too, consider the Bosch PureMixx Plus.
Can a food processor knead atta for rotis?
Yes, models with a kneading blade can knead atta. For daily kneading for a family, choose a motor of 600 W or more and knead in batches that fit the bowl.
Can a food processor replace a mixer grinder?
Usually not. A standard food processor isn’t built for fine masala pastes, wet grinding or idli and dosa batter. Combined models with grinding jars, like the Bosch PureMixx Plus, can do both.
What size food processor do I need?
A 1.5 to 2 litre bowl suits families of 3 to 4. Choose 2.5 litres or more for larger families or bulk cooking.
Is an electric chopper the same as a food processor?
No. An electric chopper only chops and mixes. A food processor also slices, grates, shreds and kneads, using different discs and blades.
Our verdict: which food processor should you buy?
For most kitchens, buy the Bajaj Food Factory FX 11. It does every food processor job and comes from a brand you can get serviced. Want to replace your mixer at the same time? The Bosch PureMixx Plus combines both. Big family? The INALSA Inox 1000 Pro has the most power. Small kitchen? The INALSA Easy Prep is compact, and if you only hate chopping, the AGARO Delite is all you need.
