Ingredients
Measurement Details: 1 cup = 240ml; 1 tbsp = 15ml; 1 tsp = 5ml;
- 400 grams sweet potatoes two medium-sized, 2.5 cups when cubed
- 1.5 tsp chaat masala
- ½ tsp red chili powder
- ½ tsp black salt
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 to 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sev optional
Instructions
Steam and chop the sweet potatoes:
- Rinse the sweet potatoes and steam them in your preferred way. I used my Instant pot to steam them.
- Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot and place the tall trivet. Place the sweet potatoes in the steamer basket on top of the trivet. Close the Instant Pot and pressure cook for 3 minutes at high pressure/manual mode and when the cooking is complete, wait for 5 minutes and release the pressure.
- Open the Instant Pot and remove the steamer basket. Let the sweet potatoes cool. Then peel the skin and chop them into cubes.
Add the spices:
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes and all the spices - chaat masala, red chili powder, black salt, and regular salt in a wide bowl.
- Gently mix them and ensure the spices are coated evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes:
- Heat a pan or kadai and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the sweet potatoes and cook them over medium-low heat until they are slightly roasted. (for about 5 to 7 mts) Be gentle while mixing and flipping the sweet potato pieces.
- Turn off the heat and transfer it to a serving bowl. Let it cool, add the lemon juice and sev and enjoy.

Notes
- Adjust the salt and spices to taste.
- If you have pani puri masala or jal jeera masala, you can add that too. In that case, reduce the measure of chaat masala.
- Be gentle while mixing the cooked sweet potatoes.
- Do not overcook the sweet potatoes.
