Sweet Sattu
Meetha Sattu
Mrs. Lalmani Lal
Sattu is an acquired taste. It is made from a coarse flour made from dry roasted grains of various types. It is difficult to give it an English name that makes sense, being a unique dish from Bihar province of India only. This sattu flour is made from dry roasted red lentil (dhuli masoor dal). The dal is not easy to roast at home and is generally bought ready roasted and ground. Sattu is said to have cooling effect in hot summers. It does not require cooking. The amount given below is for one person or one portion.
