Sattu & Green Peas Soup

Wholesome and protein rich Sattu Green peas soup – that’s nourishing, easy to digest and inherently cooling at the same time, thanks to Sattu. It makes a great side dish to go with your meals. Suitable for adults, seniors and kids and especially those on a liquid food diet. If fresh green peas aren’t available, you can use organic frozen ones. Just sprinkle some fresh lemon juice over your soup once prepared so you get the benefit of Vitamin C too, that actually gets lost due to preservation process
