Ingredients

  • 3 Sweet Potatoes medium-sized
  • 1 Cup Chickpeas (cooked)
  • 1 Red Onion small, finely chopped
  • 1 Tomato medium, finely chopped
  • 1-2 Green Chilies finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoon Coriander Leaves chopped
  • ¼ Cup Pomegranate Seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Chaat Masala
  • ½ teaspoon Roasted Cumin Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Tamarind Chutney
  • 2 tablespoon Green Chutney
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Black Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (for roasting sweet potatoes)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  • First, peel the sweet potatoes and then cut them into small, bite-sized cubes. This makes them easier to cook and perfect for your chaat!
  • Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  • Then, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt.
  • After that, spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Now, roast the sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • Alternatively, you can roast them in a pan on the stovetop until they’re cooked through.

Prepare the Chaat Base

  • Once the sweet potatoes are ready, grab a large bowl.
  • Then, add the roasted sweet potato cubes, along with cooked chickpeas, finely chopped red onion, tomatoes, and green chilies.
  • Next, sprinkle in the spices: chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, black salt, and regular salt to add flavor and kick.
  • Now, mix everything well to make sure the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Now, pour in the tamarind chutney and green chutney. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are well-coated with the chutneys.

Add Fresh Ingredients

  • After that, add chopped coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds (if you have them) to the bowl.
  • Next, gently mix in the fresh ingredients to combine everything.

Finish and Serve

  • Finally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chaat and give it one last mix.
  • Now, serve the Sweet Potato Chaat immediately while the sweet potatoes are still warm and crispy.

Notes

Flavor Variations

Sweet Potato Chaat even more exciting with some flavor twists! 
1. Spicy Sweet Potato Chaat: If you love a fiery kick, add extra green chilies, red chili powder, or a splash of hot sauce. Trust me, the heat will make it so much more exciting! 
2. Sweet & Savory: For a balanced flavor, add some jaggery or honey to mellow out the spices. It creates the perfect dance between spicy and sweet, especially with the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes! 
3. Herb Variations: For a fresh, zesty twist, toss in mint, coriander, or basil. These herbs will add a burst of flavor and fragrance, making your chaat even more exciting!
4. Crunchy Additions: Craving some crunch? Add roasted peanuts, cornflakes, or crispy fried onions. These crunchy bits will give your chaat a delightful texture with every bite! 
5. Vegan & Dairy-Free: Going vegan? No problem! Swap the yogurt for cashew cream, coconut yogurt, or soy yogurt. You won’t miss the dairy, and it’ll still taste amazing! 

Serving Suggestions

    • As a Snack: Sweet Potato Chaat is the perfect evening snack or party starter! You can serve it in cute individual bowls or small glasses for a stylish touch. I remember serving it in mini mason jars at a family get-together, and it was an absolute hit! 
    • Make it a Meal: If you're looking for a filling meal, pair your Sweet Potato Chaat with a side of dal (lentils), roti, or even a crisp salad. This combination will keep you full and satisfied!
    • Presentation Tips: Present your chaat beautifully by arranging it on a platter or in glasses. Garnish with colorful pomegranate seeds, crunchy sev, and fresh coriander  for a pop of color that will make everyone’s mouth water! 
    • Serve in Individual Portions: For special occasions or parties, serve the chaat recipe in individual portions using small bowls or, for a fun twist, hollowed-out sweet potatoes ! It’s a creative and eye-catching way to impress your guests.
