Sattu Lassi: The Ultimate Summer Refresher from Kunal Kapur

Looking for a cooler and healthy summer refreshment? 

Celebrity chef Kunal Kapur brings us back the desi superfood Sattu with a perfect twist- by turning it into a very delicious, protein-rich Sattu Lassi. 

This humble and powerful drink is best to beat the intense heat while fueling your body with essential nutrients.

What Is Sattu?

Sattu is a traditional Indian flour made by roasting and grinding well the Bengal gram (chickpeas). Often used in Bihar, UP, and some parts of Madhya Pradesh, it's also considered a desi superfood due to its:

• High protein content
• Slow digesting carbs
• Rich mineral profile (calcium, iron, magnesium)
• Rich digestive benefits

When perfectly combined with some curd and natural sweeteners, Sattu becomes not just a perfect drink, but a complete, cooling meal.

Sattu Lassi Recipe-

Chef Kunal gives this rustic ingredient a good gourmet spin by blending it well into a creamy lassi, perfectly enhanced with some peanut butter and cardamom for a rich flavour and jaggery or honey for a natural sweetness.

Ingredients:

• Curd – About 1 cup (as per the base)
• Sattu (roasted chickpea flour) – 1–2 tablespoons
• Peanut butter – 1 tsp (for creaminess and some added protein)
• Jaggery powder / honey / sugar – as per the taste
• Cardamom powder – a small pinch (for some aroma and taste)
• Cold water – to blend to a desired consistency
• Optional garnish – nuts (chopped), a smear of some peanut butter on a glass

Method:

• In a blender, combine some curd, sattu, peanut butter, a sweetener of choice, some cardamom powder, and cold water.
• Blend well until it's smooth and much frothy.
• For a good presentation, rub a little peanut butter inside the serving glass.
• Pour the Lassi in and garnish it with some nuts.
• And just like that, your nutritious, cooling, and Instagram-worthy Sattu Lassi is all-ready to enjoy!

Kunal Kapur's Sattu Lassi is much more than a normal drink, it's also a modern spin on an age-old Indian remedy for a summer fatigue. 

Try this quick, budget-friendly, and deeply nourishing drink today, and feel the intense power of our indigenous superfoods in your every sip.
