Chef's Notes
Do not skip roasting the rava! Raw semolina makes a sad, gummy idli. Take those extra few minutes to toast the grains until they smell nutty, and your texture will sing.
Pro Tip
Always add your Eno fruit salt as the absolute last step right before steaming. If you add it too early, the magical bubbles will escape into the atmosphere and leave you with dense rocks instead of fluffy clouds.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump the Eno into boiling hot batter or let it sit on the counter for ten minutes before steaming, your batter will go completely flat, giving you dense, chewy bullets that could genuinely stop a cannonball!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My butler says this is 'instant,' but he still made me wait 20 minutes for the batter to sit. I might have to behead him for his definition of speed.
The Culinary Science
Semolina is rich in complex carbohydrates and protein, while the added curd brings lactic acid that reacts brilliantly with fruit salt to create carbon dioxide pockets, resulting in that legendary sponge-like texture.
