Humble Sattu is a famous traditional and comfort food of Bihar, Made with roasted Bengal gram, it is an excellent source of Protein(Also known as Poor Man's Protein) and energy with instant cooling properties. It is widely used in many forms like making Sherbet in Summers, Liiti Chokha, Parathas or Kachori in winters.
