Ingredients
For Stir-Fried Sweet Potatoes
- Sweet potato – 200 g
- Oil – as needed
- Chopped green chili – 1
- Cumin seeds – ¼ tsp
- Curry leaves – 1 sprig
- Red chili powder – ¼ tsp
- Sendha namak (rock salt) – to taste
For the Chaat Topping
- Curd – 4 tbsp
- Roasted fox nuts (makhana), peanuts, chopped cashews & raisins – as required
- Farali green chutney – 2 tbsp
- Farali dates chutney – 2 tbsp
- Chopped raw mango – 1 tbsp
- Chopped cucumber – 2 tbsp
- Fresh pomegranate – 2 tbsp

Method
Step 1 – Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into medium-sized cubes.
- Heat some oil in a pan on medium flame.
- Once hot, add ¼ tsp cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Immediately add the sweet potato cubes.
- Stir and sauté them continuously on medium heat.
- Add chopped green chili, curry leaves, red chili powder, and sendha namak.
- Cook until the sweet potatoes turn crispy and golden on the outside and soft on the inside. They should look similar to lightly fried jeera aloo — but healthier!
Step 2 – Assemble the Chaat
- Transfer the crispy sweet potatoes to a serving plate.
- Add 3–4 tablespoons of curd on top (unsweetened).
- Sprinkle roasted makhana, peanuts, cashews, and raisins.
- Drizzle farali green chutney and farali dates chutney.
