Sattu Drink | Sattu Ka Namkeen Sharbat | How To Make Savory Sattu Drink

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.
