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.

Sattu flour found a special place in our kitchen until a few years back as my father-in-law was really very fond of it. He would take it as a cooler in summers. He would just get it mixed in cold water along with some powdered sugar and that's it.

That time this was the only use I knew of Sattu. Nothing more. Today, once again I have bought Sattu after a long time. This time, I know how to incorporate it into our day-to-day drinks even. Yes, when I say incorporate it, I mean it. After going through the internet and also meeting someone from Bihar only I have a better understanding of it.

 

Sattu Kebab Using Sattu Atta

Today, I am sharing with you is Sattu n Veggies Kebab. Kebabs are our all-time favorite as these can be made using very little or even without oil. We also enjoy Millet and Oats Kebab, Sprouted Ragi Kebab thoroughly 

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 they became 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.
