sattuvita

One of the most indigenous protein sources of India, sattu is no stranger to the locals of Bihar, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, UP, and West Bengal. Usually served as a sharbat by street vendors at the peak of summer, sattu, typically made of roasted Bengal gram, has a near-instant cooling effect on the body.

To battle heat stroke and dehydration this summer, go for sattu. A glass of chilled Sattu drink acts as an indigenous coolant.
