Summary

Rajdhani Chana Sattu gets Mishry’s approval! It is a convenient option for those who want to skip the cumbersome process of drying and grinding it at home. If only this had a bolder nutty flavor.

What are low glycemic index foods? Foods that are released slowly and steadily into the system that do NOT cause insulin spikes (therefore sustaining energy levels) are labeled low glycemic index foods. These are typically a blend of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and fibers.

A low-glycemic index ingredient that is cooling as well is Sattu. Where does it come from, you ask? Roasted chana (whole Bengal gram) is ground to achieve a powder-like texture. This can be added to upma/oats or mixed in water. Rajdhani offers a preservative-free variant and in our Rajdhani Chana Sattu review, we decode everything from the nutritional label to taste and aroma.

Our Review Factors

What were we expecting from Rajdhani Chana Sattu?

Related Products
*Based on Mishry's internal reviews and ratings

Purity in terms of ingredients, authenticity in the flavor profile, and overall convenience, were certain parameters we tested this RTE Sattu for. 

Do we recommend this or would you be better off preparing this from scratch?

1. Taste 

Chana/Bengal gram has an earthy, slightly nutty flavor profile. Owing to the Maillard reaction whereby roasting intensifies the flavors, we checked whether or not this Sattu powder had those bold nutty flavors.

Rajdhani Chana Sattu – Detailed Review

Packaging

This Sattu powder is offered in a see-through polythene bag. It is non-resealable, which means any leftover content will need to be transferred to an air-tight container to retain freshness. 

Aroma

On opening the pack, we observed a besan-like aroma.

Though both are ground flours from Bengal gram, Sattu uses roasted legumes whereas besan is prepared with raw/unroasted Bengal gram. 

Texture

Since Sattu is used to prepare Indian desserts paratha, litti-chokha, it is ground coarsely. Rajdhani’s Sattu was not too fine nor too coarse. That said, we appreciate the effortless mixability. It dissolved almost instantly in water. 

Taste

Before consuming this powder as a beverage, we tasted it dry. While it tastes fresh, it lacks the distinct roasted nutty flavor. 

For stage two, we added two tablespoons to 200 ml of water. Refreshing! But we still feel if the chana had been roasted more before turning into a powder, this would have been way better. 

Appearance

The color is a dull yellow. This may either be due to the usage of unroasted legumes or peeled ones.
