Sattu sharbet is a protein-rich drink and an excellent summer coolant. Sattu is a flour obtained from roasted black gram and is easily available in Indian grocery stores. Sattu sharbet can be made both sweet and savory way. Here we are sharing a delicious and refreshing savory version of sattu sharbet. Sattu is a power house of nutrients. Apart from being rich in proteins, it is also rich in dietary fiber, iron, manganese and magnesium.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoon sattu / roasted black gram flour
2 cups water (use cold water from earthenware)
¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
Black Salt to taste
7-8 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
METHOD
In a mixing bowl take sattu. Add about ½ cup water to it and whisk well.
Now add the remaining 1½ cup water followed by black salt, cumin powder, black pepper powder, chopped mint leaves and lemon juice. Give a good stir.
Pour into serving glasses, garnish with lemon wedge and serve!
Do not replace the black salt with ordinary salt as it gives a distinct taste to sattu sharbet.
Fresh coriander leaves may also be added along with mint leaves.
Traditionally, finely chopped onion and minced green chili is also added in this sharbet. I have not added here, as it is to be served to kids. You may add onion though as it gives a bite to the sattu sharbet.
