Sattu flour is made using roasted chickpea. It looks likes besan but and is different from besan. It is mostly made by brown skinned chickpea, roasted and powdered. It is really good for health. We can make paratha stuffing with sattu flour and it is extremely delicious. These paranthas are crispy and crunchy and taste really well with butter.
Sattu flour is also used to make drinks and it is very refreshing in summers. Sattu is an ingredient popularly used in Bihar. It is rich in fibre and nutrients making it a healthy dish.
