All my life, I’ve stayed away from sweet potatoes, which  the rest of the family savors as a fasting delicacy. Mitha Aloo Ki Chat is one appetizer that makes me pick the vegetarian selection on-board Singapore Airlines to Mumbai. Although I haven’t figured the exact recipe yet, this one works well in the interim, while my experiments continue. In the next iteration, I’m going to add some tamarind chutney. If someone has a recipe already, please do share it. Point to note is that  I’ve seen exceptional results when using the steamer (my wife got for preparing momos) as against boiling in a pressure cooker.

Ingredients:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped tomato
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 3 tsp chat masala
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Finely chopped Coriander
• Rock salt, to taste

Procedure:

• Steam the sweet potatoes, peel the cover & dice them
• Mix all the other ingredients together
