Sattu: A Taste of Home from Bihar

Khat Mitthi Chana Sattu made from roasted Bengal gram

Some foods do not need a grand occasion. They belong to an ordinary afternoon, a shared meal, and the small comfort of something familiar. For many people, sattu is one of those foods.

In Bihar, sattu appears in different forms: stirred into a savoury drink, mixed into a filling for litti, or seasoned for paratha. The preparation changes from kitchen to kitchen. A glass may be made with water and the seasonings a family prefers; a filling may carry its own mix of herbs and spices. There is no single way to make it taste like home.

Bihar Tourism’s food and cuisine guide features sattu sharbat, a reminder of how closely this simple ingredient belongs to the region’s food culture.

A roasted gram flour with many lives

Khat Mitthi Chana Sattu is made from roasted Bengal gram, ground into flour. Its roasted taste makes it at home in both drinks and savoury recipes. Mix it into a preparation you already know, or use it as the start of a new family favourite.

At Khat Mitthi, we like sattu for its quiet versatility: one pantry ingredient, ready for the recipe and seasoning you choose. It can be a drink on a warm day, a filling wrapped in dough, or simply a reminder of the flavours you grew up around.
