Sattu

Something tells me that i knew the recipe to make the perfect sattu, but now i have forgotten it. Anyone know it?

ps...do you add gur to it?

What's sattu?

Roman · Jun 26th, 2005, 06:32 PM

I love sattu. Haven't had sattu in a looooong time.

shukar, not guR. Add shukar to water and add ice. When ice is melt down and water is really chilly, add sattu and stir few times and drink up. Don't stir too much. Sattu is served best when they are half blended in.

Shahreen, sattu is wheat husk.

it sounds horrid!

Khumar · Jun 27th, 2005, 12:45 PM

oh yea...shakr. but i'm out of shakr. i have these chunks of gur though. my mom was saying i should just dissolve in some water. can i do that?

and also, is the ratio to shakr and sattu 1:1?

Khumar, no, usually you'd more sattu than shakar. But it's really something that varies from person to person. There is no optimal ration per se.

Shakar is crushed guR. So yeh you can use guR.

Ms daisy vaisy, that was such a cultural slur (if there is such a thing). I'm hurt.

I used to have sattu like weetabix in my poor days at my uncles house.

oh the memories......................Sattu is such a satisfying drink on a hot summer day. My grandfather use to make it for all the kids. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen!

dunno about getting it from a desi store in TO suroor. as far as i know, i haven't ever seen it here in any store. my khala just brought tons of it back from pakistan (one of the things to bring back

)

next time i make one, i'll tryo to remember to take it's pic.

oh btw thanks Roman for the recipe
