Sattu ki Kachori

Bihar boasts of a very rich, varied, spicy and colourful cuisine. A typical daily Bihari meal would consist of bhat, dal, roti, tarkari and achar. Cuisine of Bihar has become distinguished for its exclusive taste, conventional methods of cooking and variety of flavor. Mustard oil and ghee are the preferred medium of cooking. 

Sattu, which has very high nutritional value, is a commonly used ingredient in Bihari cuisine. Many breakfast dishes or snacks are made from this ingredient, for example, a healthful drink made with sattu, milk, cashew nuts, pista and raisins. Other popular items are Sattu Parathaand Litti.
