  • 2 cups cold water (500 ml)
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak)

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped mint
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Put the sattu in a large jug and add a few tablespoons of the cold water.
  2. Stir with a spoon, pressing out any lumps, until you have a smooth paste.
  3. Add the rest of the water slowly, stirring continuously.
  4. Mix in the cumin, black salt, regular salt, lemon juice, chilli and mint.
  5. Taste and adjust the salt and lemon.
  6. Pour over ice and serve at once.
Good to know: Make it just before serving, as the sattu settles at the bottom. Stir again before pouring.
