Every morning, we have a glass of sattu with some jaggery or salt. It has become our protein shake now. A glass of sweet sattu or savory sattu is a nutritious drink we have every day.
These sattu ladoos are a healthy option for everyone in the family. I have used ready sattu flour. If you do not have sattu flour, then you can grind roasted chana dal to a fine powder. Sieve and then use it. Since I got the readymade sattu flour, I used it in this recipe.
Other than this, all you need to make these lovely ladoos is jaggery powder or grated jaggery, ghee and some green cardamom powder.
Many people use this super healthy sattu flour to make refreshing and cooling Sattu Drink during the summers. Other than this, it is also a main ingredient in the famous dish Litti, that is served with chokha. You can also make porridges, parathas etc. with it so as to include this nutrient and protein-rich flour in your diet.
The taste of these ladoos are similar to Besan ladoo. These Sattu Ke Laddu get done really quickly and make for a nourishing sweet snack. So, next time you are craving for something sweet to snack on, choose these ladoos over everything else.
You can easily increase the recipe by increasing the proportions of the ingredients.
How to make Sattu ke Laddu
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a kadai or pan.
2. Add 1 heaped cup sattu flour. Use sattu flour which is within its shelf-period.
3. Mix the flour with the ghee and begin to roast sattu flour on a low flame.
4. Stir often while roasting. The sattu just needs to be lightly roasted.
5. Roast sattu for 2 minutes on a low flame.
6. Remove in a separate bowl.
7. Add ½ cup jaggery powder. You can also add grated jaggery. Even powdered sugar can be used.
8. Add ¼ teaspoon of cardamom powder.
9. Mix very well.
10. Then add 2 tablespoons ghee. The ghee can be at room temperature.
11. Begin to mix very well.
12. Here is the laddu mixture after mixing very well. If there are small granules in the jaggery powder, then you can just run the ladoo mixture in the mixer-grinder till the mixture becomes smooth.
Or you can run the jaggery powder in the mixer before adding to the sattu flour.
13. Shape into ladoos while the mixture is still warm. If you are unable to form ladoos, then add a few teaspoons more of the ghee.
14. Serve sattu laddu as a sweet snack. These ladoos stay good at room temperature for a week. If its too hot and humid in your city, then do refrigerate these ladoos.

Can we add dry fruits in these ladoos.
Yes you can add dry fruits.
We can use besan flour which is bought in the shop
if you use besan flour, then it won’t work with this recipe. as besan flour needs to be roasted and so the method to make besan ladoos is slightly different. in fact the aroma of roasted besan and sattu is very different. for making sattu flour, the black chana is roasted first and then powdered. so sattu flour has the aroma of roasted chana. but you can use roasted chana dal (dalia) to make this ladoos. it will be like maa ladoos. grind the roasted chana dal to a fine powder. then lightly roast it for a few minutes till the color darkens and you get a nice aroma. then follow the recipe method as mentioned in this post.
what is sattu flour? where can I get it?
sattu is roasted chana flour. roasted chana is also called as bhuna chana in hindi. you can buy online or in a supermarket. if you do not have sattu, then just grind roasted chana (the ones which are available without the skin) to a fine powder. sieve and use it.
