Delhi Shakarkandi Chaat

🇮🇳 Indian

Delhi winter's roasted sweet potato chaat, lime and masala heavy. Sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy and cold in the same mouthful — chaat logic. Eat at once — chaat has a five-minute window of glory.

Prep 23 min Cook 20 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt1 cup, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Lemon1
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Sweet Potato2, cubed

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
  • Pomegranate Seeds1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get the base ready — cooked, cooled and ideally at room temperature so the toppings sit proud.

  2. 2

    Whisk the yogurt smooth with a pinch of sugar and salt — it should pour slowly off the spoon.

  3. 3

    Layer the cooked base, then drizzle the green and tamarind chutneys in crossing lines.

  4. 4

    Flood the plate with yogurt, then season hard — masala from a height falls evenly.

  5. 5

    Top with the chaat masala, pomegranate seeds and fresh coriander; serve within five minutes, fork optional.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
