Sattu (1 piece)

Reduce the sattu portion and split it into a smaller serving; increase gradually only if your post-meal readings stay in range.

Prepare sattu with water or unsweetened plain yogurt, and avoid adding sugar, jaggery, sweet syrups, dates, or fruit juice.

Have it alongside protein and healthy fats, such as boiled eggs, paneer, tofu, or a small handful of almonds or peanuts.

Add non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, okra, cauliflower, or leafy salad, rather than drinking sattu by itself.

Avoid having sattu on an empty stomach; include it as part of a balanced meal and take a 10–20 minute easy walk afterward if appropriate for you.

Check your glucose response with the portion and recipe you use; if large spikes continue, discuss individualized serving sizes and medication timing with your clinician.
