Mona...Thanks for your comment dear..I am really happy that you tried lots of my recipes...Keep on visiting dear..
And Coming to your doubt..Sattu is not Roasted gram dal..It is a mixture of ground various pulses.Roasted gram dal is just roasted channa dal which is available in super markets..Hope it clear your doubt..
Thanks
