Ingredients
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 star fruit, sliced
1 to 3 jalapenos or other green chile peppers (depending on desired heat), finely chopped with seeds
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon chaat masala spice mix
1/2 teaspoon roasted ground cumin (or 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
Tamarind and/or mint-cilantro chutney, chopped fresh cilantro and pomegranate seeds, for topping
Directions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the star fruit, jalapenos, lemon juice, chaat masala, cumin, chili powder and a pinch of salt and mix until combined. Drizzle with chutney and top with cilantro and pomegranate seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cook’s Note
Chaat is traditionally a snack, so this recipe makes a small portion; you might want to double it for a crowd.
