1.Take 3-4 medium-sized sweet potatoes. Rinse them in clean water. Make sure the soil can be removed properly. After that, add them to a pressure cooker with water that covers the sweet potato only. Not more than this. Cook them 3-4 whistles, then release the pressure naturally.

When they are boiled, remove them with a spoon to a platter and let them cool.

2. Peel them and dice them in a bowl.

3. Add 1/4 tsp lemon juice to it. Here you can add spices, like cumin powder and chaat masala, if making for non-fasting days.

4. Add 1/2 tsp rock salt (sendha namak) and 1/2 cup pomegranate pearls to it. Add chutney and yoghurt here if you want.

5. Mix gently and do a taste test. If required, add more spices and lemon juice.

Serve this sweet potato chaat recipe immediately.

Tips

• Pressure cook the sweet potatoes properly. 3 to 4 whistles are enough. Do not overcook; they get mushy.

• When the pressure releases, remove them immediately unless they become soggy.

• If cooking in a pot, when they are boiled, don’t let them sit in the water for too long.

• You can roast or air-fry sweet potatoes instead of boiling.

• If making in fast days, use rock salt and more fruits to your preference.

• If making for non-fasting days, replace rock salt with black salt. Add spices: chaat masala, red chilli powder, and chutneys.

• Garnish it with some coriander leaves before serving.

• Serve this chaat fresh; it tastes best.
