In this short instructional video, the presenter explains how to make a traditional Indian (desi) protein drink using sattu powder. The recipe requires grinding sattu with a small green chilli, lemon juice, roasted cumin (jeera) powder, black salt, and cold water, then blending until smooth and frothy. The drink is finished with a garnish of coriander and fresh mint. The narrator highlights that the preparation takes about five minutes, each glass provides roughly 15 grams of protein, and the beverage is ideal for hot weather or post‑workout recovery. The video ends with a reminder to save the recipe.
