sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons water all over and mix the flour with water evenly. do add more water if required. the sattu stuffing mixture should not be too dry or too wet. if the mixture is dry, then the dryness is felt when eating littis.

If sattu is not available, then use roasted chana dal without the husk (split or whole). grind 3/4 cup chana dal in a grinder jar till fine powder. seive it and then use. the split roasted chana dal is the same chana dal.
