Homemade Health Mix Powder & Porridge / Sattu Maavu Kanji

February 18, 2014 By Preeti Tamilarasan 55 Comments

Homemade Health Mix Powder & Porridge / Sattu Maavu Kanji
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,

How to prepare Sattu Maavu Kanji

  • Clean Ragi, Bajra, Wheat Berries and Barley from any dust or stone. Dry roast all the ingredients separately except sugar and salt.

    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.

    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.

      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.
