Sattu Manufacturing

Abstract

Sattu is made by processing gram. Gram is a commonly used pulse and dal or curry is made out of it which is a very popular item in majority of the Indian households. De-husked grams are cleaned, roasted and pulverised to convert them in powder or flour form and this is known as Sattu. It is used in many vegetarian food and snack preparations. Bhojpur or Hazaribag districts could be an ideal location as there are many dal mills in the region. Reportedly, there are very few Sattu-making plants in Gaya district. Hence, selection of appropriate location has to be made after considering raw material sources as well as market potential. This is a very popular item of Bihar and obviously Bihar or Jharkhand are the preferred locations.
