Mitha soda

Mitha Soda, universally known as Baking Soda or Sodium Bicarbonate, is a versatile household staple and an essential leavening agent in both traditional and modern kitchens. In Indian culinary practices, it is a key ingredient for achieving the perfect fluffiness in batters for Dhokla, Idli, and Bhatura, as well as ensuring a soft, airy texture in baked goods. Beyond its role in aeration, it is often used as a natural tenderizer for pulses and chickpeas, significantly reducing cooking time. Its alkaline properties also make it a popular home remedy for digestive relief and a multi-purpose, eco-friendly cleaning agent.
