Recipe Tips

This is an easy sattu milkshake recipe for a baby which is easily done in 10 minutes and can be your go-to recipe on a busy day.

• If you are using jaggery, make sure to remove the impurities by making a syrup by following the below process :

• Grate jaggery and add it to a pan.
• Add a spoon of water and let it come to a boil.
• Stir till it melts.
• Filter it to another pan and heat it again till it is slightly thick.

• Make sure you are stirring constantly while heating the sattu mix, to avoid any lumps.
• You could either buy sattu mix from a store or make your sattu powder by roasting and grinding black chickpea at home to make it a pure homemade.
• We have used coconut or almond milk here but for your convenience, and if your child has no issues with milk, then you could use formula milk as well. Do not use cow’s milk for babies under 1 year.
• If your baby is less than a year, then avoid any sweetener especially honey. The sweetness of the banana is good enough to provide the desired sweetness for a small baby.
• If using almonds, then make sure you soak them in water for 8 hours and peel off the skin before cutting them.
