Sattu — Traditional Roasted Gram Flour
A protein-rich flour made from roasted chickpeas, used in drinks, parathas, litti, and cooling summer foods across northern India. Sattu is the original energy drink — consumed by farmers and laborers for centuries. It requires no cooking, just mix with water, salt, and spices for an instant, nutritious meal.

Every family has a recipe that only a grandmother knows — measured by hand, seasoned by instinct, and told as a story rather than written down. These oral food traditions are the most fragile part of our global food heritage. When a grandmother passes, an entire culinary library can disappear with her.
Blendz is working to document these family recipes before they fade, creating a living archive of the world's grandmother cooking traditions.
