Sattu, or roasted gram flour, is a legendary superfood that acts as a natural electrolyte balancer. This drink is incredibly simple to make and is highly valued for its ability to provide sustained energy while keeping the body temperature low during the peak of May heat. It is a rustic, savoury beverage that serves as an excellent alternative to sugary processed energy drinks.
3 tbsp sattu flour  1.5 cups chilled water  1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice  1/2 tsp black salt  1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder and finely chopped mint leaves
Add the sattu flour to a tall glass and pour in a small amount of the water to create a smooth paste without any lumps.
Slowly whisk in the remaining water until the mixture is uniform and thin.
Stir in the lemon juice, black salt, and roasted cumin powder to enhance the earthy flavour of the roasted gram.
Garnish with a handful of fresh mint leaves and serve immediately for an instant refreshing and hydrating boost.
