Ingredients

  • 1½ liters water (– cold or can use water at room temperature)
  • 6 tablespoons sattu ((roasted black chickpea flour))
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons sugar (or raw sugar or jaggery, add as per taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon or 2 to 3 pinches black salt (– optional)

Method

  1. Take chilled water in individual glasses. You can also take all of the chilled water in a mug and then mix.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons sattu in each glass.
  3. Add sugar or jaggery as per taste. I usually add 2 to 3 teaspoon of sugar or jaggery powder per serving.
  4. Add a pinch of black salt in each glass. For some tang, you can also add lemon or lime juice.
  5. Stir and mix everything very well, breaking small lumps with a spoon if any.
  6. Serve after mixing. Or you can even chill and serve later. The flour settles down, so if serving later, do stir and serve..
