SATTU BARFI, 7 CUP BARFI

This Sattu Barfi is a healthier variation of the traditional 7 cup burfi which is a very popular sweet from Tamilnadu. This is my first attempt at using Sattu in a sweet form.

Happy Diwali Folks. May the festival season be filled with loads of fun, laughter and good health.

WHAT IS SATTU

What is sattu and how is it different from Bengal gram flour or besan? A question everyone has had to answer at some point, if they’re from the Uttar Pradesh subregion of Purvanchal where sattu is most commonly consumed. Sattu, like besan, is made with Bengal gram, but what marks a significant difference between the two is the method.

 For sattu, Bengal gram is first soaked in water and dried under the sun; it’s then roasted using a traditional technique called bhoojna,where a cast-iron wok is placed on a wood-fired chulha(stove), the wok is partially filled with sand and Bengal gram is roasted in it. The sand ensures even distribution of heat and takes out all the moisture from the legume, while keeping its nutrients intact. The roasted gram is then milled along with the husk. This cooking process imparts an earthy taste and aroma to the final product, and also ensures it lasts longer.

 Traditionally, sattu has been the food of the farmers and working class in Bihar, and it was often a meal on its own.

I hope you will try Sattu Barfi this diwali and leave your comments.
