Shakarkandi Ki Chaat

Shakarkandi is the Hindi term for sweet potatoes.

If you go on a food tour of Delhi during the winter season, the sweet potato chaat is the street food delicacy you cannot miss out on. It is commonly known as Shakarkandi Ki Chaat.

Traditionally for making chaat, the sweet potatoes are roasted in the fire till they are charred. After removing the skin, the soft smoked potato is diced and tossed with spices. A drizzle of lemon and fresh coriander jazz it all up.

A sweet potato is much healthier than a regular potato. Hence, many people include them while fasting (upvas) to get the required energy, nutrients, and calories.

I am sharing a delicious sweet potato chaat you can eat while fasting. It is a farali snack recipe.

Ingredients Required

Sweet Potato: Use any type of sweet potato, from orange skin to light pink, for making chaat.

Spices: If you make this chaat for vrat (fasting), add only black pepper powder and cumin powder. No other spices.

Ghee: It helps in air frying the potatoes.

Salt: Use only rock salt (sendha namak) for making farali chaat.

Other Ingredients: Lemon Juice, Fresh Coriander, Roasted Peanuts

How To Make

Step 1) Peel and discard the skin of sweet potatoes. Wash them nicely. Cut into bite-size pieces.

Step 2) Preheat the air fryer to 180-degree celsius.

Step 3) Combine diced sweet potato, ghee, spices, salt, and ginger paste. Mix nicely to coat each piece of sweet potato with the masala and ghee (images 1 & 2).

Step 4) Transfer the masala-coated sweet potatoes to the air fryer basket. Air Fry them for 20 minutes, shaking the basket twice.

Step 5) To make sweet potato chaat, transfer crisp, sweet potatoes to a bowl while they are hot. Sprinkle chopped coriander, drizzle lemon juice, and roasted peanuts. Toss them together nicely.

Before serving, drizzle sweet curd, green chutney, or sweet tamarind chutney over chaat if you prefer. Else, it tastes delicious without chutneys as well.

Serving Suggestion

You can serve sweet potato chaat two ways.

One, without any accompaniments, simply tossed in spices, lemon juice, and fresh coriander leaves. This is a classic way to serve shakarkandi ki chaat.

Second, layering the crispy masala-coated sweet potatoes with curd, green chutney, and tamarind chutney like a true Indian chaat.
