Chef Romy Gill shares her recipe for shakarkandi chaat. This fragrant sweet potato chaat with lime and mint is a Punjabi classic.

Romy says: “I enjoyed eating this simple chaat on a holiday in Punjab. The sweet potatoes in India are a little different to what you find in the UK, but they taste similar when served like this.”

Serve with Romy’s tamarind and date chutney.

  1. Black salt (kala namak) is actually a dark pink colour; it’s used in Indian dishes to add a savoury, slightly smoky flavour. Buy it in Indian grocers or online.
