Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
 
  • If you don’t have eno fruit salt then use ½ tsp baking powder and 1 tsp lemon juice.
  • The process should be done quickly as we have already mixed eno in it and if we take too long then the effect of eno won’t be there.
  • Make sure you leave enough space in the bowl for the idli to rise.
