The most underestimated Indian Superfood

Sattu is is a great Indian superfood. It has many surprising health benefits. It can be taken with sugar and salt as well. But more popular one is Namkeen Sattu. Here is Namkeen Sattu Recipe.

In a mug or bowl, take 4 tablespoon Sattu.

Add 1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon black salt.

Pour 750 ml chilled water and squeeze 1 Lemon.

With a spoon mix the mixture well.

Your sattu drink is now ready to serve.

Sattu s full of proteins which is quite healthy for the body

I guess you meant.. You sattu drink is now (instead of not) ready to serve ..

Yes, this is a big mistake from my side. Thanks for highlighting my mistake. I am going to edit the same.

Apart from providing the body with energy, what makes Sattu quite a unique ingredient is that its prepping process keeps the nutritional vales in place. I can be stored for a longer time.

Sattu has good proportions of Iron, manganese and Magnesium

I like sattu but only when it is stuffed in parathas. I don't like drinks made from sattu

 Of course, one of my friend who is from north India said,Sattu stuffed parathas are extremely delicious and healthy too.He further added that  the north Indian cuisine is ideally served as the main dish with Bangan ka bharta, curd and pickle

Sattu is the best Indian superfood.Sattu is made in so many different ways at different places.I like a sattu lot of my village U.P.

I agree. Sattu is used in regional cuisine to varying degrees in Bihar, UP, uttarakhand, Punjab and Delhi. Unfortunately Sattu is little known in my State AP. but I knew about Sattu  from some of my friends and relatives from other states, where Sattu is abundantly available. and treated as a Super food.

I tasted and ate Sattu preparations brought by these friends and relatives

Sattu is also not known in the North eastern states. I came to know of it from my friends from Bihar and since then have grown to like its flavour.

Once Sattu was known only in Bihar and a few other States . That was an old story. Now Sattu is well known in most of the other States with the Brand name " Swastik Sattu"

I don't know much but once I ate at a friend's place sattu balls and aloo chokka it was very delicious. I eat roasted chole  like that for snacks it is delicious enough for me.

This is education for me as I have never heard of this food. Can you describe it a little more.

Please post where did you eat the items you mentioned in your post and describe the recipe if possible. By the way which state you belong to and where do you live currently?

Sattu is a common food in eastern and some parts of northern Indian states made of barley and gram. Good especially during summers as these are healthy and keep body cool.
