I am badly in need of it. Pls help me
Can anyone suggest me where can i find ENO fruit salt in Switzerland .?
Hi, so did you manage to get your hands on any?
try one of the indian stores
In oerlikon you can find it here
You are a star! Cheers :-) Really, so you have seen it at the Food and World shop and they still have some left?
Hi
You can get it in Indian store ART OF FOOD located in Sternen Oerlikon.
This is just great news.
Luckily I brought a bottle with me from home. Unfortunately I don't have one spare for you, sorry!
What do you use it for? Will you be making handvo?
That's a kind thought
I have run through my stash I need my South Indian idli fix. So yes, coriander coconut chutney and steamed fluffy semolina idlis are in the making.
Handvo, interesting... Just googled that. Must have a go!
Idli! When? What time should I come?
Why dont you try the traditional batter recipe with dal, rice AND methi dana for fermentation? No need for ENO them.
Aaaaah Sva, but you see one method just calls for sooji, curds and a dash of Enos and the other needs a good soak, a brutal grind and then a hopeful fermentation overnight. I'll stick with the former for a quick fix
Mrs Maman, how about we make a trip to Oerlikon to stock up on Indian goodies and then Idli at mine :-D
Idlis are just fantastic, with chutney and a bit of sambhar. YUM!!! Never knew there was a quicker prep method using Eno.
I don't have an idli steamer utensil, is there a way of making them without it?
I'm not a big fan of handvo but when I'm in Switzerland, even my least favored Indian foods are craved... how I miss great Indian food!
Haha...don't we all.
You need 1 cup sooji (semolina) to 1 1/2 yogurt, mix and let the batter sit for ten minutes. (you could add chopped onions, grated carrots, curry leaves and the likes)
Do you have a steamer of any sort (perhaps a pressure cooker with that metal base used to steam potatoes?), ramekins or even a small pyrex dish?
Once the water is boiling in the pan, you are good to go. 1 teaspoon of Eno goes into the batter (act quick) give it all a good whisk and spoon the batter into the ramekins or one big dish (you could later cut it into smaller pieces). After 8 minutes of steaming, take the pan off the heat and let cool. Release from forms and relish :-D
Big changes on the ENO market! Why not make your own?
Just scale up and make 50g, buy the salts in your local pharmacy,

Eno is the most global of GSK's gastrointestinal products. The fast-acting effervescent fruit salts, used as an antacid and reliever of bloatedness, was invented in the 1850s by James Crossley Eno. It has sales of nearly £30 million, with its major markets being Spain, India, Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia and Thailand. It is frequently used as a substitute for baking powder.
As of the summer, 2010, GSK made the decision to withdraw Eno from the UK market. (Info from GSK UK marketing on enquiring directly as to the difficulty on purchasing Eno.)
At the beginning of the year, they initially withdrew the unique UK 218g jar, replacing it with a European/USA 150g jar, though increasing the price by 18% at the same time. It can also still be found in sachets of 5g, sold in boxes of ten. Stocks are not currently being replaced, and when it's gone, it's gone. Most existing UK stock has an expiry date no later than May 2013.
This leaves a major gap in the UK market for a product of this nature as its primary competitor, Andrews, contains 2.1g of sucrose per 5ml measure, making it unsuitable for diabetics. Other effervescent alternatives, such as Resolve, contain Paracetamol - unnecessary when you have a simple stomach upset. Even own branded alternatives type 'fruit salts' from Boots and Super drug all contain sucrose, with the result being a sweet sugary taste compared to the historically advertised "refreshing zing" of Enos. They are also not suitable for diabetics.
Why GSK has chosen to withdraw this product is a mystery, as there is clearly a robust demand for it, and it sells successfully in every market it is available in.
Each 5 g of Eno powder contains: Sodium Bicarbonate Ph Eur 2.32 g Citric Acid Ph Eur 2.18 g Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate Ph Eur 0.50 g
Sodium content: Each 5g of powder contains 0.85 g of sodium
Brilliant, thanks very much Maria.
I have a petal steamer. I suppose I could add the mix to a ramequin, place it on the steamer, cover and steam.
Need to get some sooji now!
Nothing "hopeful" about it.
I've done it quite a few times. Put the batter in the oven at 50 deg for a few minutes, shut the oven down and leave overnight. It's not instant, but then it's not sooji either...
Ooooh SVA, you don't know the half of it. I have tried in vain Will give it another go on your behalf
