Sattu drink or sattu ka namkeen sharbat is very popular traditional summer drink, originated in Bihar. It has its own variations as per state like Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Sattu is a roasted chana (gram) flour or roasted barley or mixture of both. This drink is known as poor’s protein drink due to its health benefits.
Making sattu at home from scratch is a very laborious and time-consuming task. The traditional way of preparing Sattu involves the use of an iron vessel in which the grains or grams are roasted in the sand. Afterward, they are sieved and then ground to a fine flour and store in airtight container. These days sattu is easily available in the market and online store. So no need to make from scratch. Check here in amazon for availability sattu mix, sattu spicy and sattu sweet.
This protein-packed sattu not only used in making a sweet and savory drink but also extensively used in preparing a variety of dishes too, for example, sattu paratha, sattu kachori, sattu laddu, and litti.
It is considered a very nutritious ingredient with an instant cooling effect on the body. Sattu is high on dietary fiber, which is good for your intestines, low on the glycemic index which helps in weight loss and good for diabetics. Sattu contains good proportions of iron, manganese, and magnesium, and is low on sodium too. You can read more here.
To make the sweet sharbat or drink, you need some powdered jaggery and chilled water. Mix the jaggery powder and the sattu together with chilled water, and then blend together till it forms a smooth consistency. Some like to strain the drink as it has a grainy texture which tends to settle down at the bottom if sits for some time. Keep stirring and drink. For savory version lemon, chili, black salt and mint required. Rest of the process is the same. Today I am sharing a savory version of sattu drink.

Sattu in a drink is new to me as well. Sounds so healthy and protein rich. Would love to try it.. the pics look so good !
Ah! My father’s favourite summer drink – sattu ka sherbat. But he used to make it sweet with shakkar and zeera. Also gave me long lectures on its health benefits. ? I’m loving your namkeen version, I’m more a savoury drinks kind of person. ☺
So much refreshing and healthy thirst quencher.Perfect for the hot weather.
Sattu is extremely cooling and the perfect drink for summers. Loved the gorgeous pictures, especially of the sonny boy enjoying his drink. Cheers!
I love salty drinks, they kind of feel so good when the mercury soars and the persipration draws out all the salt from your body. Thankyou for this recipe. I will try this in summer.
This is such a healthy drink, we use to have it a lot. Awesome
What a delicious and protein rich drink! I have not tried sattu in a drink. Will definitely try this.
Beautiful clicks that make the drink so tempting. I’ve made sattu parathas and litti but haven’t tried sattu drink. Will try it out as soon as the cooler months get over.
This recipe is totally new to me. It looks so refreshing and I loved your beautiful capture. Thanks for sharing.
Born and raised in Bihar so very familiar with sattu. Love sweet sattu sharbat. Your spicy vision also must be delicious. Loved your click.
I had seen this in Ajay Chopra’s TV show also.. actually I have never tried out anything with sattu. Earlier I was abroad and it was a problem getting these traditional stuff. Now I will surely give it a try .
I would love to try this, I have no idea how it comes together taste-wise, but seriously, I want to find out!
I’ve never had sattu in this form – I’ve always had it in a paratha. This version looks and sounds utterly delicious! 🙂
