India's next big street-food craze?
BBCIndia's next big street-food craze? Sattu sherbet has long been a ubiquitous health drink in India For years, sattu flour, the main ingredient in a variety of unpretentious street snacks, has remained at the fringes of India's urban foodscape – but now it's going mainstream. Sattu sherbet has long been a ubiquitous health drink in India, especially popular among the working class in the Northern and Eastern zones, but it – and its main ingredient of sattu powder, made from Bengal gram – has remained at the fringes of the urban foodscape. "When we opened our joint in 2016, we did not imagine that litti chokha and sattu sherbet would be so popular among the well-heeled." Sugato Mukherjee Foods made from the beloved flour have historically been consumed for their affordability versus trendiness "There has been an unprecedented rise in sale of sattu packets in recent months," said Sayoni Samanta, a saleswoman at a South Kolkata outlet of Spencer's, a pan-Indian retail chain.
