I came to know about this Chaat recipe recently in a North Indian Wedding Reception held in Coimbatore. Initial startup of the dinner started with usual Chaat items and Soups. First I started with Chaat items and tasted this sweet potato Chaat. It was really yummy and tempting to eat another plate. There was a large queue for this Chaat. So I left that place and moved to have soup. After soup session I find only few people left in the queue and I ordered one more plate and asked him what was that spice mix..He couldn't explain and just said it is sweet potato. While tasting I could Identify half of the Ingredients used in that recipe. Still then I am not satisfied what could be the items used. The sweet spicy and tangy taste dominated my tongue and I filled half of my stomach with these sweet potatoes. I came home and searched in net...but could not find the complete Ingredients used in that. I made experiments with these sweet potatoes and some spices. To my Surprise I realized the exact taste of that Sweet Potato Chaat what I had in that Wedding. Wow!!! I found it!! It was Yummy n Superb!!!

ReplyDeletePrince Chaat serves one of the tastiest Shakarkandi Chaat in Galleria Market. The soft roasted shakarkandi combined with chutneys and masalas creates an irresistible flavor. It’s a comforting, healthy street-food option that perfectly captures the charm of Delhi-style chaat.
