Whenever the summers arrive,
you feel tired and sluggish,
And to get rid of this summer, there are
so many methods that are natural,
and there is one such magic ingredient,
a superfood, also known as-Sattu,
Sattu is basically flour,
a type of flour which is made from roasted chickpeas,
these are black chickpeas,
and when we roast it,
it becomes something like this,
the one with the covering,
this is our roasted chickpea; the one with the covering,
And this is very healthy, and nutrient intense,
it has high protein, high fibre
you can consume it in the form of a snack,
When you grind it, you will get
either 'Chickpeas flour' or 'Sattu',
If you may like, you can also roast this jau and grind it into a fine powder,
when it becomes a fine powder,
it is also known as Jau ka Sattu,
So when you go to the market,
you can easily find chickpeas sattu,
jau sattu or a mixture of both,
There are different ways in which you can consume this
either you can add it to the water and consume it directly, which I will just show!
Or, you may make litti out of it,
you may add it as a stuffing to your bread,
you may even bake using that sattu,
So I am using this sattu
and using a simple method to quickly make
a sweet and a savoury drink with it,
Sattu powder
Add 2 tablespoons of sattu powder, to each glass,
This is roasted channa sattu,
next, for sweet, I am going to add a tablespoon of sugar,
And for the salted,
we will dd a pinch of salt to another glass,
and some roasted cumin seeds as well,
A few mint sprigs,
some lemon in both,
again., lemon is optional,
next, we will add some chilled water to it,
just give it a nice stir,
this one is sweet and the other is savoury,
so if you want to protect yourself from the heat,
sattu is the way to go!
Sweet
savoury
