Cooking Instructions

An ancient, all-natural Indian protein powerhouse. Ground from roasted Bengal gram (chana), sattu is deeply hydrating, packed with insoluble fiber, and provides 11g of bioavailable plant protein with an exceptionally low glycemic index.

Nutritional Highlights

  • 11g Clean Plant Protein: Sattu delivers easily digestible amino acids from whole roasted legumes with no industrial isolates or artificial additives.
  • Low Glycemic Index & Sustained Energy: With 7g of resistant and insoluble fiber, it slows gastric emptying, providing sustained stamina without blood sugar spikes.
  • Natural Electrolyte Balance: Enriched with black salt (potassium and sulfur compounds) and lemon (ascorbic acid and bioflavonoids), it serves as a whole-food isotonic electrolyte refresher.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Create Slurry: Place 45g (3 heaped tablespoons) of pure chana sattu into a tall glass or shaker bottle. Add 3–4 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk vigorously with a spoon or fork until a smooth, lump-free paste forms.
  2. Dilute: Pour in the remaining chilled water (approx. 250ml) while stirring continuously until thoroughly blended.
  3. Season: Stir in roasted cumin powder, kala namak (black salt), and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  4. Garnish & Enjoy: Top with finely chopped fresh mint and coriander leaves (and finely minced onion/chilli if desired for homestyle rustic crunch). Stir once and drink immediately.
