Ingredients

Sattu is primarily made from roasted Bengal gram (chana dal), which gives it a rich, nutty flavor. Many traditional blends also include barley (jau), while some variations add a little

• wheat for extra body. Depending on the recipe, wholesome grains and pulses like ragi (finger millet),
• oats, maize (corn), and soybean may be combined to boost fiber and protein. Natural flavor enhancers such as
• cumin seeds (jeera), black/rock salt, and dry ginger powder (sonth) are often used, and when prepared as a savory drink or porridge, people commonly add onion, green chillies, and a splash of lemon juice.
• At its simplest, though, sattu remains a nourishing roasted gram flour valued for its protein, fiber, and cooling properties.
