Chef's Notes
Treat your moong dal with respect! Soaking it properly is the secret handshake to achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture fit for a monarch.
Pro Tip
When adding the fruit salt, work with the speed of a court jester dodging a tomato. Do not let that precious aeration deflate before it hits the steamer!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you hesitate after adding the fruit salt and let the batter sit on the counter, your idlis will emerge from the steamer resembling heavy, rubbery hockey pucks fit only for medieval catapults.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My Jester says these idlis are so light that you might float away from the banquet table if you eat more than five.
The Culinary Science
Eno fruit salt contains sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The moment they meet moisture, a joyful chemical reaction releases carbon dioxide bubbles, lifting your idlis to cloud-like heights.
