Health Mix Powder / Multi-Grain Powder / Sattu Maavu, a healthy and nutritious powder which can be given to all age group people. I dont think you can give this to a new born, but yes it can be given to kids aged above 1 year. It was my long time wish to prepare Sattu Maavu at home as it is one of my fav Morning Drink.
Recently i bought 2-3 tamil cookbooks on Kongu Style cooking from Book Fair, and i was all excited when i saw this recipe in one of those books. I have altered the ingredients used in original recipe and added one or two extra. This Powder can be prepared with any combination of below mentioned ingredients. Until yesterday, i made health mix drink with Store-bought Powder but from now on i’m going to enjoy this aromatic drink with homemade flour. I have also shared Peanut Ladoo recipe made with health mix powder.
NOTE : We prepare this health mix powder at home and sell it. If anyone interested to buy, please email us or comment here.
Lets move on to the recipe,

Hi Tamizh, very healthy kanji, reminds me of my childhood days! Nice presentation, one question though… whats the shelf life for this sathu maavu,I couldn't find this on the recipe.
Mullaimadhavan, this is the first time i made this powder at home. It can stay more than one month according to my assumption, but only if you dont use it daily 🙂
Looks superb and nothing like home made health mix 🙂 love that last click PT. Usually Amma makes this for me :p

Should peanut skin b removed if it has to b given to 1 year old baby ?
It is optional to add peanuts when giving to kids. You can add it with skin.
Looks amazing. I normally get the Mannah Kanji Mix, but I guess I can make my own. I love the smell of cardamom so I will probably up it a little bit! Hope you are doing good.

Hi, Good recipe. Only one question. Can we wash the grains and dry them, then roast them?
Yes you can
Can this be given to diabetics for strength?
yes this can be given to diabetics..
Thanks for the nice recipe I was looking for something like this.
I do have two questions, when roasting did you roast them all together or separately?
And when it is all prepared and u make the drink, is it important to boil it or can u have it cold? (The reason I ask the second question is because grains are all ready roasted, they can be eaten like a sharbat right)
Thanks once again
Roast them separately.
No, we cannot have the powder cold, as it has to be cooked in water before serving.
Hi, I’m a working mother and do not have the time to prepare it. However, do not want my 7 month old to miss out on this nutritional food. If anyone is selling this product, I’m willing to buy.
Hi Jopreet. Its an informative post. Can I give this as a porridge to my baby? What time of the day can I serve this ? Breakfast, lunch or dinner ?
Yes you can give this kanji to your baby. Give it for breakfast or evening brunch.. May I know the age of your baby??
1.1 years. Thank you so much for the reply
then it should not be a problem 🙂
hi u have mentioned cup as well as table spooon measurement and I want to know the cup measurement for those who have mentioned as tbsp.. thanks
2 tbsp is half of 1/4th cup
Thank u so much…. your recipes are very good and your presentations were very nice …
thank you 🙂
can I add walnut to this mix
Yes Ramya, you can also add walnuts..
Can this increases weight Bcoz my 10years old daughter is just 22 kegs only
I dont think it will increase the weight. I will give strength.
Which brand of sattu powder you recommend-want the original one with 7 grains…would you know…or something close to it? I want to buy some. Thanks
Can u say the proportions in kilograms plz to make large quantity…. my little 2 kidz wil hav tiz daily
the above mentioned quantity will yield 1/2 kg flour which can last upto 1 month if consumed daily. For making large quantity, adjust the measurements accordingly.
for example, if you are gonna add 1 kg ragi, then make barley as 250 gms. I hope this helps.
shelf life?
depending upon your usage, it may last up to 6 months if kept in refrigerator.
This is given how many times a day.? My baby is one year old . My mom in law gives her 2 times a day 3 tbs each time as breakfast and dinner. Undoubtedly this is healthy but isn’t it too much
Can i give it just mix with milk not cook in flame?i heard this to give this powder just mix with water and give it to my baby from 2 year?is it harmful?can i add soya seed in this sathu mavu?
Hi, this powder shouldn’t be added raw. It must be cooked with water and milk(optional).
