Chef's Notes
Pay close attention to the roasting stage of the rava and vermicelli. If you rush this with high heat, you will burn the exterior while leaving the inside raw. Patience is the ultimate seasoning!
Pro Tip
Always ensure your yogurt has a distinct tang to it. The acidity reacts brilliantly with the baking soda, creating an explosion of fluffiness that ordinary milk products simply cannot achieve.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Ignoring the 20-minute resting time because you are impatient, resulting in idlis that have the textural integrity of a rubber bouncy ball and the culinary appeal of drywall.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
When sodium bicarbonate encounters the acid in sour yogurt, it undergoes an acid-base neutralization reaction, rapidly releasing carbon dioxide gas bubbles which get trapped in the gluten network of the semolina.
