Sattu flour is different from the sathu maavu (multi grain mix). The south Indian sathu maavu is a combination of healthy grains as flour.
While sattu is also a healthy one but just that it is made one ingredients, very popular across north India.
❤️🩹 Health benefits
It is really good for health as it is full of fiber, packed with nutrients. If you want to increase your protein intake, this is the best way to include sattu in your menu.
I loved sattu ka sharbat very much and I was sure this sattu paratha also will be really good with the similar flavour and taste.
🍲 Serving suggestion
Sattu paratha is quite dry because of the sattu stuffing. So eat it with plain yogurt (curd/ dahi) and achar as side dish. Boondi raita goes well as well.
I saw this simple recipe in Instagram and tried. It turned out really good and Aj too loved it and had.
