What Is Sattu?
Sattu is roasted Bengal gram (chana) flour, traditionally used across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of South India. It's high in protein and fiber, has a nutty aroma when roasted, and works beautifully in both savory and sweet preparations.

Ingredients:
(Makes 15-20 ladoos)
1 cup = 250ml

• 1 cup sattu (roasted chana flour)
• ½ cup jaggery powder (adjust to taste)

• 7 tbsp ghee.

Method:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame. Add sattu and dry roast, stirring continuously, for 3–5 minutes until it turns slightly deeper in color and gives a nutty aroma.

•  Now add little by little ghee mix well until you ll get a smooth texture then switch off the flame..Let it cool completely.

• After cools completely, now add jaggery powder and you can add cardamom powder also but here I didn't add..

• Mix well with your fingers or a spoon, breaking any lumps. The mixture should feel moist and hold together when pressed.

• Shape the ladoos. Roll tightly between your palms to form smooth, round ladoos.Press gently so they are compact and don't crumble.

• store it in a airtight container at room temperature for up to 15 days.

Tips for Perfect Sattu Ladoo:

• Roast on low flame: High heat can burn sattu and make it bitter.

• mixture should cools completely or else jaggery melts and you cannot make Shape.

• Jaggery quality matters: Use good-quality, dry jaggery powder, if it's sticky, reduce ghee slightly.
