Roasted Gram Flour (सत्तू (Sattu))

Roasted Gram Flour, or Sattu, is a rustic and high-protein flour that I consider a powerhouse of energy. It is made by grinding roasted Bengal gram into a fine, aromatic powder that has a beautiful nutty scent. In my kitchen, it is a savior for quick, healthy meals and refreshing summer drinks. It has a very unique, earthy flavor that is quite different from regular besan because it is already cooked. I love using it as a stuffing for parathas or as a base for a savory drink with lemon and black salt. It feels very grounding and honest, a staple of the common person that is now being recognized for its immense health value. It is a versatile ingredient that provides a sense of strength and satisfaction with every bite.
