Shakarkand ki chat or sweet potato chat is a popular North Indian street food which is tangy and spicy at the same time. Usually served during winters, seasoned with chat masala, lemon, tamarind chutney. This is also a common ingredient to consume during fasting days (Navratri, Ekadshi, Janamashtmi). The only difference is, in fasting days we add rock salt, lemon juice, vrat ki chutneys, and cumin seed powder. Shakarkand ki chat is a very delicious and healthy snack during fasting days.
