Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Wash Sweet Potatoes

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Scrub the skin to remove dirt. You can cut them in half for faster cooking. Proper washing ensures a clean base for the chaat and makes peeling easier later.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Cook Sweet Potatoes

Place the sweet potatoes in a vessel and add enough water to cover them. Pressure cook for 2–3 whistles. The knife test helps: it should pass through smoothly, but the potato should not turn mushy. This keeps the cubes firm for chaat.

 

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Peel and Cube

Let the cooked sweet potatoes cool slightly. Peel the skin carefully and cut them into large cubes. Divide into two portions if serving in batches or sharing with family.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Season the Chaat

Sprinkle Sendha Namak, roasted cumin powder, and pepper powder evenly over the cubes. Mix gently so each cube is coated with the spices. The flavours remain light but distinct, keeping it suitable for Navratri fasting.

 

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Optional Additions

For extra tang, squeeze lemon juice over the sweet potatoes. Alternatively, add well-beaten yoghurt for a creamy texture. Mix lightly and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
