Sattu or Sharbat is a smoothing Indian drink that you will never stop sipping this summer. Made of roasted chickpea flour with the addition of chilly water and other spices and herbs. It is a super healthy rejuvenating drink in tanning summer. It can be sweet and savory. I like savory so I'm shooting today. Sattu does not contain preservatives, food colors, artificial sweeteners, and the best part is that for fitness freaks it is a completely calorie-free flour.
To make it sweet in taste, just add a little sugar or jaggery. Then no spices were added. Only 3 ingredients - water, sattu and sugar. And here's the sweeter version ready to be served cold.
I have been using this flour since childhood because BIHAR is my hometown. And I love to eat and drink it. My father's favorite Sattu dish is called "Sattu ka Paratha". He liked to make Sattu Paratha masala and he always gave us a pinch for tasting, especially by offering me because they (my family and relaties) considered me a "taste expert". If I say OK to any dish… that dish will pass!! I have missed those days so much writing this blog.
Anyway, I'm a little touched at this point ...
Now you must be thinking- What is Sharbat?
Well, the word Sharbat comes from Persia. So, a drink made of sugar and water. This in turn comes from the Arabic word shariba, which means “to drink”. So, the drink can be sweet, or savory called ‘SHARBAT’.
