Regional cuisine uses sati to varied degrees. The usage of sattu is widespread in several meals in Delhi, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttrakhand. In Bihar, it is frequently served cold as a tasty summertime beverage, as a porridge, or as soft dough. Sattu is combined with fruit slices, sugar, and milk in sweet meals. Sattu can be seasoned with green chilli, lemon juice, and salt in savoury recipes. It is a preferred filing for parathas.
