Kindly tell me what is the deffrence between baking soda and baking powder and what is the papad kharo
Hi Anuja ,
Once I used baking powder instead of baking soda for balushahi/badusha it exploded and I got hurt.So from then I’m careful about these two.
Hi Hetal n Anuja,
Congratulations on the wonderful recipes n tips u both put up, I <3 them, n u both.
I was wondering what is Papad Kharo in refrence to baking soda n baking powder? could u pls. tell me the difference.
Thankyou.
Hi Binota,
Papad kharo is something like baking soda but not the same chemical composition. Honestly, I don’t know how they differ in terms of the final effect on the food. Maybe some of our other viewers can chime in.
Hi,thank you for the tip,however,could you please tell me as to why we need to use both of them at the same time in few recepies,like the eggless carrot cake you made? and also,is baking soda the same as cooking soda?
Hi Ashwini,
My understanding is that you use both soda and powder if you need more quantity of soda in a recipe that does not have acid. If you use too much powder (to compensate for the extra soda), the texture may change due to the corn starch.
Thank you Hetal….and is there be any difference between cooking soda and baking soda?
Hi Ashwini,
No, they are the same.
Hi Guys,
Can you please tell me what is Eno, some of the recipes calls for it, but i don’t have it, what can I substitute with?
Thank you,
Rani
Hi Rani,
ENO is a mixture of Baking Soda (approx 60%) and Citric Acid (approx 40%). If you don’t have it, you can use baking soda plus some lemon or lime juice.
hi!
i love your vedios….they are really handy & homely….
thanks for clearing all the confusion regarding baking powder & baking soda……i had a vague idea but now i am sure about it that baking soda is 100% NaHCO3 where as bakingpowder has something mixed with it ( now i know what is mixe)…..thanks again
great tip!
Here’s a question for you:
I’ve recently been getting really into cooking, but many ethnic foods, such as Indian cuisine, intimidate me because some of the ingredients seem very confusing. I also try to eat relatively healthy and many recipes seem to be loaded with butter or tons of coconut milk.
Any tips on better understanding Indian food?
Thanks 🙂
