description Sattu Roti Overview
Sattu roti is a traditional flatbread from the Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, featuring a stuffing made of roasted gram flour, known as sattu. The sattu filling is prepared by mixing the flour with mustard oil, chopped onions, green chilies, and spices like ajwain and mango powder. This mixture is then encased in a whole-wheat dough, rolled out, and cooked on a griddle. Sattu roti is valued as a high-protein staple and is commonly served with yogurt, pickles, or chokha.

What is sattu, the filling used in sattu roti?
Sattu is flour made from roasted gram, commonly roasted Bengal gram or chana. In Bihar-style fillings it is mixed with ingredients such as mustard oil, onion, green chili, spices, and an acidic element.
