  My mom tips –

• you can use chaat masala powder or jaljeera  masala powder  instead of roasted cumin powder.
• Adjust salt, spices and lemon as per your taste.
• But roasted jeera powder  are found in almost every kitchen. So it is convenient to use roasted jeera powder.
  (You can make easily in a minute. Just roast the cumin for 2-3 minutes and cool for a minute and grind in the grinder). That’s all. Roasted  cumin powder is ready to use. Use as required.. In dahi bhalla , raita or any dishes.
• If you want to make channa sattu at home then follow my simple method of man ng sattu at home.
• just bought some roasted  channa (without skin) at any departmental or grocery store.
  Heat the pan and add roasted channa on medium heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.
  Allow it to cool and grind to fine powder.
  Seive in a stainer.
  Home made sattu is ready to use.
  This is a very easy way out of making sattu at home.
  I am sure that you will make and enjoy this summer with this savoury salty refreshing drink.
