What is Sattu?

In simple terms, it is a cousin of gram flour (besan).

Sattu is a protein-packed flour prepared with roasted brown chickpeas (kala chana). Yes, that’s it! Sattu is an everyday humble flour loaded with all the qualities of a superfood.

It is also known as sattua, sattu ka atta, or sattu flour.

From ages, people in India are using it in the best possible creative manner to prepare a variety of regional dishes. Sattu Sharbat is one such traditional summer drink recipe. It is a popular summer coolant across the Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand.

I am a big fan and advocate of local Indian drinks. Reason? They are free of any preservative, artificial colour, or carbon-dioxide.

Most of them prepared with the best available seasonal. And the added bonus is a great taste. Once you try the sattu sharbat recipe it will surely become one of your favourite summer coolers.
