Chef's Notes
Do not rush the soaking or fermentation process! Temperature dictates everything, so if your kitchen is chilly, give your batter a little extra love and warmth to help it rise.
Pro Tip
Always ensure your paddu pan is properly heated before adding the oil and batter, or you will end up with sticky batter disasters instead of crispy spheres.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Attempting to flip your paddus before the bottom crust has actually formed, resulting in a tragic, gluey scramble stuck halfway out of the pan while guests watch in stunned silence.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the jester bring a telescope to the kitchen? To see if the batter would finally rise to the occasion!
The Culinary Science
Fermentation is a wild party of wild yeasts and lactobacilli consuming starches, creating carbon dioxide bubbles that trap themselves in the batter matrix to give you that iconic fluffy texture.
