Chef's Notes
Do not skip toasting the semolina! That golden step is the secret weapon for building deep, nutty flavor instead of a flat, pasty taste.
Pro Tip
Always mix in the fruit salt (Eno) at the very last second. If you add it too early, the magical bubbles will escape before you even turn on the steamer.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you forget to grease your idli molds, you will end up chiseling concrete-like semolina fragments out of the metal cups with a butter knife while weeping softly.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why the Rava Idli is called 'instant.' He said it's because it takes only 25 minutes instead of the standard three business days required to wait for actual fermentation.
The Culinary Science
Fruit salt triggers an instant acid-base reaction with the yogurt's acidity, releasing carbon dioxide gas bubbles that trap themselves in the dense batter to create an impossibly fluffy idli.
