Another very healthy snack from my kitty for all of you…Sattu n Veggies Kebab in Airfryer. I have made these in the air fryer but these can be easily made on the skillet with little oil.
Actually, I started making Sattu Chokha but we didn’t relish the taste much, maybe because we had it for the first time or whatever. Then it struck me as to why not cook it. So, I baked these in my Phillips air fryer. Not only do they become crispy but very tasty too. Hubby dear even said that they tasted like Masala Vada (made from split Bengal Gram).
In my next trial, along with the veggies, I added grated and squeezed bottle gourd (Lauki) and some curd also to the mix. This is because Sattu is very dry and therefore a lot of oil needs to be added to it. I reduced the quantity of oil by adding curd and bottle gourd (lauki). This made it nutritious also and richer in taste. Apart from this, I added a little bit of semolina to it to make it slightly crispy. All these changes were wholeheartedly approved by my family and then only it is there right in front of you. Try it, feel free to add as many veggies as you want.

What Is Sattu Flour?
Sattu, belonging to the state of Bihar and Jharkhand, is nothing but roasted gram flour, that is, flour made by grinding roasted Chana.
Other than Chane Ka Sattu (roasted gram Sattu) we also have Jau Ka Sattu (Barley Sattu ) which is more popular in the rural areas of Punjab and adjoining states. But today, we are talking about gram Sattu or say Chane ka Sattu.

Kebab with Sattu Atta
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sattu
- 2 Tablespoon Fine Semolina See Note 4
- 1/4 Cup Grated Bottle Gourd Or Raw Papaya
- 1/2 Cup Mixed Veggies Chopped finely Carrot, onion, capsicum, tomatoes, etc
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Chopped Green Chilli
- 1 Tablespoon Curd See Note 5
- 1 Tablespoon Dried and Crushed Fenugreek Leaves Kasoori Methi
- 2 Tablespoon Oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop veggies very finely.
- Preheat Airfryer at 180 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Take Sattu, semolina, oil, grated and squeezed bottle gourd, chopped veggies, curd, dried and crushed fenugreek leaves (Kasoori methi), salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Mix everything nicely.
- Make a slightly tight dough using water, adding 1 teaspoon at a time. Be very careful while adding water. Since veggies are already high in moisture you may not even need water or if required then very little only.
- Grease your hands with little oil and make kebabs of any shape.
- Place in the Airfryer basket and cook for nearly 10 minutes or until golden brown. No need to grease the Airfryer basket.
- Alternatively, you can shallow fry these kebabs in a pan with little oil.
- Serve with tomato ketchup or green coriander chutney.
Notes
- Add water very cautiously. If added even a little more then it will be sticky, unable to form kebabs.
- In case you end up adding more water then add little Sattu to adjust consistency.
- Add veggies of your choice. I normally add capsicum, onions, tomatoes, carrots, and bottle gourd. Add lots of cilantro, ginger, and green chilies also.
- To make it Gluten-free, replace semolina with rice flour.
- To make it Vegan, replace curd with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. It is better to grease your hands before shaping kebabs. Or brush the kebabs with oil after shaping.
