Chef's Notes
Pay absolute attention to the soaking time, as rushing the hydration of the chana dal results in a gritty texture that will certainly offend any self-respecting palate.
Pro Tip
When folding in the fruit salt, do not overmix or you will deflate the precious bubbles that give this dish its cloud-like lightness.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to grease your steaming tray properly, resulting in a disastrous, cement-like bonding of your dal batter to the metal that requires a hammer and chisel to clean.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They say you need to be patient to wait for the chana dal to soak, but I have seen kingdoms fall faster than a royal cook waiting for the timer to ding.
The Culinary Science
The fruit salt reacts with the natural acids and added lemon juice in the batter to instantly release carbon dioxide gas, creating millions of tiny air pockets for maximum sponginess.
