Instructions
Roasting the Barley
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai over medium-low heat. Add the barley and roast, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Roasting the Chickpeas (if using raw)
- If using raw chickpeas, roast them in a separate pan until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring frequently. This step is only required if you didn't buy pre-roasted chickpeas.
Grinding and Sifting
- Allow both the barley and chickpeas to cool completely. Combine them in a high-speed blender or food processor and grind into a fine powder. Sift the powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any coarse particles.
Storage
- Add salt (if using) and mix well. Transfer the sattu powder to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. The sattu powder will keep for several months.

Expert Tips for Perfect Sattu
- Even Roasting is Key: Ensure both the barley and chickpeas are roasted evenly to achieve the best flavor and prevent burning.
- Cooling Down: Let the roasted ingredients cool completely before grinding to avoid damaging your blender and ensuring a smoother powder.
- Sifting for Smoothness: Sifting helps remove any remaining coarse bits and improves the texture of your sattu.
- Storage Matters: Store your Sattu in an airtight container away from moisture and sunlight to maintain its quality for longer.
