Being from Ranchi and having spent my childhood relishing sattu littis, paranthas and drinks I HAD to introduce sattu to my munchkin and put a sattu related recipe on my page.
✅Sattu is a protein-rich flour made from powdered chana (Bengal gram) or other pulses and cereals. It is quite popular in many parts of India such as Jharkhand, Bihar, Punjab, Uttarakhand and UP.
✅However, what earlier belonged to a few states, is now a famous and exotic food ingredient that is easily available even in supermarkets or amazon.Sattu is now available in different forms that include wheat, barley or sorghum (jowar). All these variations have a certain percentage of roasted gram in it. Thus, it is rich in protein, fiber, iron, calcium and magnesium
✅There are numerous health benefits of sattu. The major ones being a great natural summer cooler, great for indigestion/constipation, helps fight diseases and aids in weight loss
✅This ladoo can be served to kids above 1 year of age. They can be stored in air tight container for upto 10 days and can be a travel snack.
✅You can add nuts and seeds powder to make it more nutrient dense.
✅ I have used jaggery powder from @slurrpfarm . Sattu is from a local shop from my recent visit to Ranchi.
