Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Sattu Powder Roasted Gram Flour: 3 tbsp
  • Chilled Water or Buttermilk: 1.5 Cups
  • Roasted Cumin Powder Bhuna Jeera: 1/2 tsp

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large glass or shaker, add 3 tablespoons of pure Sattu powder.
  2. Add Liquid: Slowly pour in chilled water or buttermilk (Chaas). Whisk or stir continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
