I still have reminiscence of the cycle vendor who every evening around 5 pm used to come and shout “shakarkandi wala” and as kids we used to run out to get a plate quickly. I can still remember the taste of the chaat and being nostalgic I prepared Shakarkandi Ki Chaat at home today. Shakarkandi or Sweet Potato has a good mixture of all vitamins and dietary fiber and is consumed all over the world in different forms. Since you just need to boil the shakarkandi, cut and add Indian spices with lemon juice, it is fairly easy and quick to make and serve. It goes best as a snack, however you can also serve it as a starter or in breakfast, it is enjoyed while it is slightly warm and should generally be served fresh for best taste. So let’s look at this Shakarkandi Ki Chaat Recipe and enjoy the winter evenings with a great chaat choice. Have a great day ahead!
