Sattu drink (Namkeen)

Preparation time : 10 minute
Cooking time : 0 minutes
Serve 2

Ingredients -
4 tbsp of sattu flour ( channa ka sattu)
2 tbsp of lemon juice ( or as per your taste)
1/4 tsp of black salt
1/2 tbsp of roasted cumin powder.
1/4 tsp of salt ( or as per taste)

Method -

* Take a pot add sattu flour, salt ,black salt  and water. mix well.
*Add lemon juice , roasted cumin powder and mix well.

Check the consistency.It should be nor thick or not thin. Add finely chopped onions .
*Pour in to glasses add ice cubes and garnish with lemon ring and mint leaves and pinch of jeera powder or chaat masala powder.
Serve immediately.


My mom tips -
*you can use chaat masala powder or jaljeera  masala powder  instead of roasted cumin powder.
*Adjust salt, spices and lemon as per your taste.
But roasted jeera powder  are found in almost every kitchen. So it is convenient to use roasted jeera powder.
(You can make easily in a minute. Just roast the cumin for 2-3 minutes and cool for a minute and grind in the grinder). That's all. Roasted  cumin powder is ready to use. Use as required.. In dahi bhalla , raita or any dishes.
*If you want to make channa sattu at home then follow my simple method of man ng sattu at home.
*just bought some roasted  channa (without skin) at any departmental or grocery store.
Heat the pan and add roasted channa on medium heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.
Allow it to cool and grind to fine powder.
Seive in a stainer.
Home made sattu is ready to use.
This is a very easy way out of making sattu at home.
