Instructions
🔸 Step 1: Roast the Barley
- Heat a pan on low flame and add whole barley.
- Roast for 8–10 minutes while stirring continuously.
- Roast until it turns light golden and you hear slight crackling sounds. Ensure even roasting on low heat.
🔸 Step 2: Cool Completely
- Turn off the heat and let the roasted barley cool completely. Grinding hot barley can create moisture and lumps
🔸 Step 3: Grind
- Add the cooled barley to a mixer grinder in batches and grind into a fine powder.
- Sieve the ground mixture using a fine strainer.
- Re-grind the coarse particles and sieve again.
- Repeat the process to get a smooth, fine texture.
🔸 Step 5: Final Roasting (Important)
- Lightly roast the sattu powder again on low flame for 2–3 minutes. This removes any moisture left and increases shelf life of homemade jau sattu powder.
🔸 Step 6: Store
- Let the sattu cool completely and store in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to 2–3 months at room temperature.
