Sattu Burfi

The festival-sweet face of the sattu wave: roasted chana flour toasted in ghee, bound with jaggery syrup, and cut into rustic diamonds — no whey needed. At 150 calories a piece with modest plant protein, it's a smarter mithai for maintenance days than a serious protein source.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sattu (roasted chana flour)
• 1/3 cup jaggery
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• 1 tbsp chopped mixed nuts

Instructions

1. Roast the sattu in ghee on low heat until nutty and aromatic.
2. Melt the jaggery with a splash of water into a thick syrup.
3. Combine the sattu, syrup, cardamom, and nuts quickly.
4. Press into a greased tray, cool, and cut into diamonds.
