Sattu Sharbat



Please ignore my hand it is stained since I peeled pomegranates.


It’s been a struggle with shedding weight I gained since October. Prescribed bed rest meant no exercise and a high protein diet just added more weight. Wondering if all of it it went to muscle mass or fat in some proportion? 

While I travelled I ate everything including sweets but never over ate anything. I took care of my gut. However after coming back I had weird feelings. 

Light meal for dinner. सत्तू का शरबत. For the rescue!

This is a summer favourite in UP-Bihar where I was doing pilgrimage couple of weeks ago. It has a ton of benefits. 

It aids digestion, promotes weight loss by keeping you full, acts as a natural summer coolant, and provides sustained energy.

How I made it?

1/2 cup roasted chana
Grind it.
Add one peeled small onion to the mixer
Salt to taste. Black preferably.
Handful of Fresh green Dhaniya. 
Grind again to fine powder. 
Mix curd and water and use मथनी to churn it. 
I did not add green chili but go for it if you like spice in your drink.
