Sattu or powdered roasted grams is one of the most healthiest foods on earth. Its packed with nutrients and tastes great. Sattu Paratha is a type of Indian bread relished popularly by vegetarians in Bihar region.
Sattu is very rich in mineral, protein, fiber so also good for diabetic and heart patients. A healthy drink – sattu ka sharbat is also made with sattu which is a popular summer drink in Bihar and U.P.
Since, I am leaving out of India so its very hard to find sattu, however if you cannot get it near your house, you can easily prepare it home by grinding roasted chana dal to a fine powder.
Sattu paratha is a healthy, delicious ,wholesome and easy breakfast item. It can be served with plain yogurt , Aloo tamatar sabzi, pickle or just with a hot cup of tea.
