1. A mixing apparatus comprising: a container for holding a plurality of ingredients to be mixed; an impeller assembly electrically connected to a motor and rotatably positioned in the container for stirring the plurality of ingredients, wherein motion of the plurality of ingredients due to stirring forms a vortex in the container; and one or more protruding attachments removably supported within the container by a support mechanism, and further positioned to move in vertically upward and downward directions within the container, wherein the one or more protruding attachments redirects at least a portion of the plurality of ingredients between a top portion of the vortex and a bottom portion of the vortex.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support mechanism comprises a hinge assembly enclosed in a vertical grove configured in a wall of the container for hingedly holding the one or more protruding attachments.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the vertical grove facilitates the movement of the protruding attachment in the vertically upward and the downward directions.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support mechanism is configured external to the container.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the support mechanism comprises a clamp assembly configured external to the container, and capable of holding the one or more protruding attachments.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein a vertical movement of the clamp assembly facilitates in the movement of the protruding attachment in at least one of the vertically upwards and the downwards directions.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the movement of the protruding attachment in the vertically upward and the downward directions facilitates in adjusting position of the one or more protruding attachments to coincide with one of the top portion and the bottom portion of the vortex.

8. A method of mixing comprising: introducing a mixture of a plurality of ingredients in a mixing apparatus, the mixing apparatus comprising: a container to hold the plurality of ingredients to be mixed; an impeller assembly electrically connected to a motor and rotatably positioned in the container; and one or more protruding attachments removably supported within the container by a support mechanism, and further positioned to move in vertically upward and downward directions within the container; stirring, by the impeller assembly, the mixture of the plurality of ingredients in the container, wherein motion of the plurality of ingredients due to stirring forms a vortex in the container; and redirecting, by the one or more protruding attachments, at least a portion of the plurality of ingredients between a top portion of the vortex and a bottom portion of the vortex, wherein redirecting the at least a portion of the plurality of ingredients facilitates in mixing of the plurality of ingredients. , Description:As Attached
