Now here we will be discussing Sattu which is made by roasting Bengal gram even known as black Chickpeas.

And those who somehow got acquainted with it didn’t like its taste it initially. Here I am talking of my childhood days when my father was posted in Patna, and someone from his office gifted us Chana sattu. Initially, we didn’t like its taste but knowing the benefits of Chana sattu we tried to develop the taste 😀.

How to make sattu at home

Although now Sattu is very popular all over India and many know about its health benefits but still Sattu is not easily available in some regions of India. So yes the good news is that you can make pure Sattu at home in two ways from scratch, You can either roast the Chana or Black chickpea and then grind it after removing its black cover. And the other option which is easier would be to bring roasted Chana from the market (I guess that’s available almost everywhere branded or non-branded) and then grind it into a Sattu flour.

As per disadvantage, it can be subjective, like too much consumption of chana Sattu can cause gastric issues. And please don’t try to eat it dry because it can be choking.
