    Sweet potato chaat recipe for vrat or Hindu fasting - It is made from boiled sweet potato and flavored with few spices. In Hindi it is called shakarkandi chaat recipe.

    Sweet potato chaat recipe | Shakarkandi chaat for vrat, fasting

    During mahashivratri my mom always makes this shakarkandi chaat as a snack. Apart from that day, she sometimes prepares it during navratri vrat. This can be eaten on any upwas or vrat e.g. ekadashi, krishna janmashtami, jaya parvati vrat.

    Sweet potato itself is filling to the stomach. So during the vrat days, having this as a snack will keep you full for next few hours.

    Instead of this shakarkandi chaat, You can try this aloo chaat recipe for vrat. This one is also filling and good.

    For making this sweet potato chaat flavorful, here I have added red chili powder, roasted cumin powder and black pepper powder. Many do not prefer to eat red chili powder during the fasting. If so please skip it. It will still taste good.

    Lemon juice is added which gives slight tang to it just like any other chaat recipe. This tangy flavor complements well with slight sweet flavor of sweet potato.

    1) First boil the sweet potato in pressure cooker. Take washed sweet potato in the cooker, add enough water so potato is submerged in the water. Cover with the lid, put the weight on and turn the heat on medium heat. Let it cook for 2 whistles or till the sweet potato is cooked. Let the pressure go down by itself then open the lid.

    2) Once sweet potato is cool to touch, peel the skin and discard. Cut into small cubes.

    3) Take cubed sweet potato in a bowl.

    4) Add salt, pepper powder, red chili powder and roasted cumin powder.

    5) Squeeze the fresh lemon juice in it.

    6) Mix well so everything is coated well to the shakarkand pieces.
