Ingredients

  • Sattu3 tbsp
  • Cold water300 ml
  • Lemon juice1 tbsp
  • Black salt1/2 tsp
  • Roasted cumin powder1/4 tsp
  • Green chilli, minced (optional)1/2
  • Mint leavesa few

Method

  1. 1

    Put the sattu in a glass and add two spoons of water first. Make a smooth paste before adding the rest — pour all the water in at once and you will be chasing lumps for the next five minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the remaining water, lemon, black salt and roasted cumin. Whisk hard.

  3. 3

    Taste and adjust the salt. It should be savoury and slightly sour, not sweet.

  4. 4

    Add mint and the chilli if you want it sharp. Drink cold, immediately — sattu settles.
