Sattu Drink Recipe: Healthy Savory Sattu Sharbat (5 Mins)

Sattu Drink, or Sattu Ka Sharbat, is a traditional Indian summer cooler that’s super healthy and an instant energy booster. It is prepared from Sattu, which is roasted Bengal gram (chickpeas) ground into a fine flour. This version of payasam is creamy flavoured with spices which are quite regular at home and it’s a wonderful natural coolant and very good for digestion too. It’s no cook, very quick and just right for breakfast or for a pick-me-up midway through the day.

Sattu Drink Recipe: Healthy Savory Sattu Sharbat (5 Mins)

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Sattu flour (roasted gram flour)
• 1 cup Chilled water (or more, to adjust consistency)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
• 1/4 teaspoon Roasted Cumin powder (Jeera powder)
• Pinch Black pepper powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 1 teaspoon Finely chopped green chili (or to taste, optional)
• Salt (regular white salt) to taste

Directions

1. Mixing Ingredients: Take a glass and put the Sattu flour, black salt, roasted cumin powder, black pepper powder, and regular salt.
2. Add Water and Mix: Pour in about 1/4 cup of the chilled water. Mix thoroughly using a spoon or a small whisk until all the lumps are dissolved and you have a smooth paste. This prevents the formation of lumps later.
3. Drink Up: Pour in remaining water and stir well.
4. Flavoring: Stir in the lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped green chili (if using).
5. Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning (add more lemon juice or salt if needed). Serve immediately, optionally with a few ice cubes.
