Alibaba Bicarbonate Soda 100g - Baking Soda (Meetha Soda)

Alibaba Bicarbonate Soda 100g – Food-Grade Baking Soda

Alibaba Bicarbonate Soda 100g is pure food-grade sodium bicarbonate — known as baking soda in English, meetha soda or khane ka soda in Indian kitchens, and natriumbikarbonat in Swedish ones. One ingredient, no fillers.

It is one of the cheapest and most useful things in a South Asian kitchen, and almost every spongy or puffed dish depends on it.

What Does Bicarbonate of Soda Do?

Bicarbonate reacts with anything acidic — yoghurt, lemon juice, buttermilk, citric acid or eno — and releases carbon dioxide. Those bubbles are what lift a batter and give dhokla its sponge and bhature their puff.

The reaction starts immediately, so bicarbonate goes in at the last moment, just before the batter meets the steamer or the hot oil. Mixed in early, the lift is gone before cooking begins.

Perfect for Indian & Everyday Baking

Common uses include:

• Dhokla & khaman — the characteristic spongy rise
• Bhature & kulcha — soft, puffed breads
• Jalebi & pakora batter — a lighter, crisper coating
• Chana & rajma — a pinch in the soaking water softens tough pulses
• Idli & dosa batter — a boost when fermentation is slow in a cold kitchen
• Cakes, cookies and pancakes — standard Western baking

Useful in a Cold Climate

Swedish kitchens are cooler than Indian ones, and idli, dosa and dhokla batters ferment slowly as a result. A small pinch of bicarbonate just before steaming is the usual fix when a batter has not risen the way it would at home.

Usage Suggestions

Measure by the quarter-teaspoon. Too much bicarbonate leaves a soapy, metallic aftertaste and a yellowish colour, so always start small and follow your recipe. Keep the bag tightly sealed — bicarbonate absorbs moisture and loses strength once damp.
