Sattu
(Satui, सत्तू, सतुई)
Sattu is a highly nutritious flour made by roasting and grinding grains, most commonly black chana (roasted Bengal gram), but it can also include barley, wheat, or maize. It is widely used in North Indian, Bihari, and Jharkhand cuisine for its earthy flavor, high nutritional value, and versatility.
Sattu is a fine flour with a slightly coarse feel and has a nutty and earthy taste with a natural roasted aroma. It is high in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it an energy-packed food. Sattu is used in a variety of dishes, such as savory items like litti, parathas, and spiced drinks (sattu sharbat), as well as in sweet preparations like a drink mixed with jaggery or as laddoos with ghee and sugar.
It is also consumed as a quick and healthy snack due to its ease of preparation.
