Sattu can be a great ingredient for this season since it can help you keep cool and lower your body''s temperatures. Sattu is a great source of plant-based protein and can be used to make a number of dishes. Here are some unusual sattu dishes you can make for summer.
Combine sattu flour with mashed bananas, milk (or plant-based milk), and a hint of cinnamon to create a batter with a unique nutty flavor. Cook the pancakes on a hot griddle until golden brown, then serve with fresh fruit.
Elevate your salad game by incorporating sattu into refreshing summer wraps. Mix sattu flour with chopped vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, and tomatoes, then season with lemon juice, chaat masala, and fresh herbs. Spread the sattu mixture onto whole wheat tortillas or lettuce leaves, add a sprinkle of feta cheese or grilled tofu.
Combine sattu flour with diced boiled potatoes, chopped onions, tomatoes, and green chilies, then toss with tangy tamarind chutney and spicy mint-coriander chutney. Garnish with crispy sev (fried chickpea noodles) and fresh cilantro for added crunch and flavor.
Add a healthy twist to traditional kebabs by incorporating sattu into the mix. Combine sattu flour with mashed boiled potatoes, grated carrots, minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies, then season with garam masala, chaat masala, and fresh cilantro. Shape the mixture into small patties or skewer them onto bamboo sticks, then grill or bake until golden brown and crispy.
Start your day with a refreshing and energizing sattu drink. Mix sattu flour with water or milk, and sweeten it with a touch of jaggery or honey. Add a pinch of roasted cumin powder and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. Stir well until the sattu is fully dissolved, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
Indulge your sweet tooth with homemade sattu ladoos, a nutritious and guilt-free dessert. Mix sattu flour with powdered jaggery, chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pistachios), and a pinch of cardamom powder. Add a spoonful of ghee to bind the mixture together, then shape it into small round balls. Let the ladoos set for a few hours before serving.
