Ingredients:

• 150 grams Chana Dal OR 1 Cup powdered dalia/roasted chana
• 1/2 cup Ghee
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• Pinch of Cardamom powder

Method:

• If using Chana dal, dry roast it in a pan till it becomes crispy. It took me 1/2 hour on low to medium flame stirring continuously.
• Grind it to make a powder.
• Now, add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder and mix well using your hands.
• Add the melted ghee little by little to form a soft dough as shown in the picture.

• Make small peda's out of the mixture and garnish with pistachios and rose petals.
• You can use your creativity to make the design or leave it plain.
• Here I have used the frying spoon to make the design. (see the picture)

Handy Tips:

• If you don't have much time then using the roasted chana is a good option but the sattu made with roasting and powdering chana dal tastes better.
• Take care to not add all ghee at the same time, since when you add ghee the sugar dissolves and makes the mixture runny.
• Do the taste test to get the desired sweetness.
