sattu ke laddu

Today is Akshaya Tritiya . It’s customary to make sattu ke laddu at home in my community.In India sattu ka atta is  easily available in stores ,but here it’s difficult to get, so I make my own sattu atta for making laddu’s.
Traditionally sattu is made with roasted and ground powders of pulses and cereals like chana daal, jowar, wheat, oats and barley.It is consumed in different ways  like with sugar ,water, green chillies and  salt and even used as a stuffing for litti and parathas .
Sattu is a popular breakfast in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa.Hope you will like my version of sattu ka laddu

  5. OK, I feel like such an idiot to open my jaw at the idea of making sattu at home. Why did I never think of that before.. But thanks dear ,for this idea.

    My hubby loves sattu Parantha and all, and this one seems to be a nice idea to keep him tugging his hands away from those preservative laiden cookies for few days atleast 🙂
