There is a wide variety of ingredients and cooking techniques used in Indian cuisine. Delicious foods like dosa, cheela, uttapam, and many more are commonly made with batter. To simplify your cooking using batters, here are a few pointers:
Adding a spoon of sago to idli batter yields soft and fluffy idlis, enhancing their texture and taste.
Adding fenugreek into dosa batter not only imparts a distinctive taste but also improves the texture, resulting in crispy and flavourful dosas.
Using chilled water while grinding batter helps maintain the temperature and consistency, resulting in smoother and more consistent batters.
Adding salt only to the portion of batter you're about to cook prevents over-salting and maintains the balance of flavours in the remaining batter.
Adding a beetle or ajwain leaf to the batter before fermentation helps control the process, preventing over-fermentation and spillage, resulting in perfectly fermented batters.
