Baking powder is potent enough to work on its own, but no guarantee if you just use baking soda. They both look exactly the same, but they are not. The difference here is, in baking we use white flour a.k.a maida, whereas in our daily chapati quests, we use whole wheat flour a.k.a aata. In our desi house holds, we all know flour is what we make rotis with, right? So if a baking recipe asks you to put in flour, it has got to be that aata in that bori in the corner, right? Please don’t do that. Ounces, ml, cups, grams - all of these are interchangeable if you google it. On a side note, don’t get lost if you are not familiar with the measurement units. Open a recipe, read it carefully and follow all measurements exactly, down to the last dot. It is a very precise and accurate process. You cannot sprinkle some baking powder, add a handful of sugar, whisk in 2 eggs and guess that will work. The first thing to know, and never forget: baking is not guesswork. And somehow, our social media feeds have shown us one too many desserts that we want to try, but know from previous failed attempts (or fear of failure) that it’s best to just drool and move on.īut today, we are moving past that! Today, we shall learn about the art of baking, and how not to cry at the end! Precision I’m sure we’ve all been stuck home long enough to want to take up a new hobby. Baking seems fun and the outcome looks delicious, till you actually step into the kitchen to do it.
