    What is Sathu Maavu / Health Mix?

    Sathu Maavu also called as Health Mix is a nutritious blend of ingredients roasted and grinded to a powder. Sathu Maavu is a great source of nutrition for all ages especially for growing kids. Sathu Maavu is a blend of grains, pulses, millets and nuts each roasted separately and powdered in a flour mill.

    Sathu Maavu ingredients & method varies from region to region but essentially a mix which nourishes the needed nutrients for the body. Health Mix prepared at home widely differs from the ones available commercially at grocery stores as they have 75% millet or grain flour and rest of the cereals, nuts and pulses in very small proportions.

    Health Mix prescribed here is a blend of carefully proportionated grains, pulses, millets and nuts which gives the nourishment for the body and as well as keep us filling.

    Health Mix called as Sathu Maavu in Tamil is an alternative breakfast even prescribed by doctors for the kids & toddlers who leaves to school in the early mornings.

    Its a long time wish for me to post homemade sathu maavu powder. Amma usually makes a version with just multigrains but this version was shared by my neighbour. I made a batch of this saathu maavu powder for mittu and after that I am stocking this up regularly.

    First when I started, I sprouted few grains then roasted and grinded. But later learnt that sprouts are best when had as such and it loses its nutrients after drying and roasting so after that I stopped sprouting the grains. In case if you wish you can soak and sprout wheat, finger millet, green gram, black chana and pearl millet then follow the steps.

    This is sure time consuming process but worth the effort. It took me 3 days for making this Sathu Maavu as buying, measuring, washing, drying and finally roasting yes it takes a lot of time so start making only when you have time.

    Check detailed post on How to make Sathu Maavu Porridge

    You can feed this for babies after 1 yr and elders can also have it. We have it at least 2-3 times a week, sometimes as a sweet porridge with jaggery and sometimes as salt porridge with buttermilk. You can check out the porridge recipe here.

    Each household has a different version of sathu maavu recipe and this one is my staple since 10 yrs. This comes to me handy for making many dishes apart from porridge.

    Expert Tips

    • First check for any speck in each grain and remove them. Then rinse them well.
    • It is really important to rinse all the grains and dry it before roasting it.
    • Sticking with gram measures is best for health mix but if you do not have a weighing scale you can use the cup measures.
    • I use a kitchen scale to measure each ingredient and as my neighbor suggested I am using only gram measures.If you don’t have a kitchen scale at home, then buy the ingredients in the exact mentioned quantity itself. I get millets and grains in bulk so had to measure individually.
    • I usually change the millets variety each time you make this mix, like instead of foxtail millet, you can add kodo millet or little millet etc.
    • Make sure you cool down completely after roasting. Once it cools down then store else it will let out moisture if you close and keep immediately.
    • Adding cardamom is purely optional. We usually make both sweet and savory so add less whole cardamom in the mix to ground and add powdered elachi if needed while making sweet.
    • Adding dry ginger powder helps in digestion.
    • You can store in airtight container and keep it outside for 3-6 months then refrigerate it if you want to store for a longer period of time.

    Storing Suggestion

    Once the health mix powder is ready spread it on a plate and cool down completely before storing. I usually store in a clean airtight container in room temperature. I store half of it in fridge for storing for a long time and store the rest in room temperature. In room temperature Sathu Maavu keeps well for about 6 months if handled properly. In fridge it keeps well for 1 year.

      Hi. Thanks for the healthy recepie. As for the sprouted kala chana I dried them in the sun for 2 days and then roasted them. But the sprouted roots got burnt during roasting. Is it ok? Should I dry them in the sun for longer? How do I know that the sprouts are ready for roasting? Thanks

        Yes it is absolutely ok, it will soon get curled up and browned while roasting.But do it low flame.

      as grains & dry fruits already roasted then is it necessary to sathu powder boil for 2 min.with water/milk. instead of add powder directly in water or milk without boil on gas.

      Hi,
      Thanks for the nice recipe! I was wondering if there is an instant variation of this recipe? That is, health mix powder that we can mix instantly in milk and drink.
      Thanks

      Hi SHarmilee,

      My son doesn’t like ragi that much. I have tried cookies and cupcakes also. Is it very important to add ragi to this powder?
