Direct answer: is the Preethi Zodiac MG-218 750W Mixer Grinder with 5 Jars right for you?
750 W is the threshold that matters for Indian cooking specifically, because idli batter and dry turmeric both stall a 500 W motor and the grinding never finishes.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 750 W is the threshold that matters for Indian cooking specifically, because idli batter and dry turmeric both stall a 500 W motor and the grinding never finishes. The 5 year motor warranty is unusual and tells you something about how Preethi expects it to hold up. Worth knowing about the duty cycle: about five minutes of continuous running, then rest, or the thermal cut-out will trip.
Who should buy this
Any Indian kitchen grinding batter, masala or turmeric regularly.
Who should avoid this
Anyone wanting to run it continuously for long periods -- it needs rest breaks.

Holding up so far
Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 5 year motor warranty, which is unusually long. Still mildly irritated by one thing: About five minutes of continuous running before the motor needs rest. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: About five minutes of continuous running before the motor needs rest. Universal motor is loud, in the region of 85 dB. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 750 W handles idli batter and dry turmeric, where 500 W mixers stall. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
750 W handles idli batter and dry turmeric, where 500 W mixers stall. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 5 year motor warranty, which is unusually long. Nothing has surprised me in most of a year.
