Does anyone have a special way of making sweet potato chaat? My mum makes it with heaps of additions (tomatoes, chickpeas, onions, green chillies) , and i make it with imli,lemon lime juice, and chaat masala.
I have heaps at home this week, so wanted to try something different with it.
Any suggestions?

make shakarkandi kheer, it is delicious stuff!
Re: Shakarkandi / Sweet Potato Chaat
kheer?? never heard of shakar kandi kheer... you have a recipe?
Re: Shakarkandi / Sweet Potato Chaat
no, my mom used to make it.
So do you boil the sweet potato and add masala? can you please post recipes? I've not had it before
Re: Shakarkandi / Sweet Potato Chaat
when i make it, i peel, cut into cubes, then boil it. take it out of the water when it's done. In a cup mix imli paste, lemon /lime juice (or any juice you have, eg, orange, apple, mango), shaan chaat masala. Pour it onto the shakarkandi.. enjoy

My mom makes sweet potato in milk - it's so creamy and delicious! I'll ask her for the recipe but I know she cooks it in milk and adds sugar to it.

shakarqand kii kheer laa_jawaab hotii hai...India/Pakistan kii shakarqand jis meN resha nahiiN hotaa aur jo az Had meeThii aur zaaiqedaar hotii hai...Caribbean shakarqand jo orangish hotii hai achchhii nahiiN hotii.
maiN bachpane meN shakarqandii ko choolhe kii garam garam raakh meN gaaR kar khaayaa karte the....bahot maze kii huaa kartii thii...you can bake in the oven...it will be similar to what i am talking about.
Re: Shakarkandi / Sweet Potato Chaat
^yup, baking shakarkandi is the best way to prepare, i think. it's amazing how much sugar it naturally contains, most of which you lose by boiling it.
Re: Shakarkandi / Sweet Potato Chaat
I was banned from buying shakarkandi this week, last wek i spent $15 on it, which isn't much, but still got in trouble. The purple one with white flesh is best, the orange gets stringy.
i want some now!

the imported kind from India...we buy them at an Indian store...it has white flesh with almost no fibres. try them...make sure you buy them from Indo-Pak stores...Pakistani shakarqand is equally good :)
