Shakarkandi ki chat recipe – Baked sweet potatoes in Indian style

shakarkandi / ratale / ratalu chat This Tangy Baked Sweet potatoes ( shakarkandi /ratale / ratalu chaat ) recipe is a healthy option of sweet potato fries. In winters when I come to Delhi the first thing I tasted on road side eatery was tangy sweet potatoes (shakarkandi ki chat). They made it in two ways –

Roasted sweet potatoes on charcoal or husk

or

Deep fried sweet potatoes

 

Then they season it nicely with lots of spices, lemon juice and add little mustard oil to give that pungent, prickly aroma, with the irresistible aftertaste. I really loved this sweet potato recipe and thought of making it little healthy. The roasted option was really good but it was very mushy and my kid said he would not eat it. The fried ones are not at all a good option.

I baked these sweet potatoes with little oil and salt and then seasoned it with some spices and it turned out very well. I hope you will enjoy this recipe

[ingredients title=”Ingredients”]

  • ½ kg sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 teaspoon oil
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice (you can add it according to your taste)

For seasoning 

I make seasonings of two types (you can change the quantity according to your taste)

  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder+1 teaspoon chat masala+ 1/2 teaspoon mustard oil (optional if you don’t like raw mustard oil flavour)
  •                                                                                    OR
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder (dalchini powder)+1 teaspoon paprika  powder+ ½ teaspoon black pepper

[/ingredients]

[directions title=”Directions”]

  1.  Wash the sweet potatoes and peel it with the help of vegetable peelerIMG_5132IMG_5134
  2. Cut it into small piecesIMG_5138
  3. Put them in microwave safe bowl. Add oil and salt in it. Shove lid opened bowl in microwave on high power for 6 minutesIMG_5141IMG_5143
  4. Add lemon juice and desired seasoning and serve it hot IMG_5148

[/directions]

Note

  1. If you are on vrath just add black pepper for seasoning and add saindhanamak in place of normal salt
  2. I had prepared this recipe at the time of vrath so the picture of this recipe contains black pepper seasoning

My suggestion for Navratri Vrath Festival—

  1. Drink lot of water and fluids such as coconut water sugarfree fresh juice
  2. Eat lots of fruits
  3. Try to avoid fried menus of navratri
  4. Eat healthy vrath recipe in small portion at regular interval
  5. Enjoy the festival rather than starving yourself …it’s a healthy suggestion
  6. Long time starvation and  too much of tea and coffee dose  will increase your acid refluxes (acidity)
  7. You can make god happy by helping people and children who r in need rather than starving yourself..

How to make shikran (Easy banana milk custard for vrath)

IMG_4650When we r kids we use to eat shikhran almost every alternate day in morning breakfast …Banana goes very well with milk than any other fruit …Fruits should not be eaten with milk (as said in ayurveda)but banana is the exceptional case… banana milk custard is very healthy and nutritious for kids as well as adult who needs something which is quick energy giving as well as healthy…it gives instant energy during vrath (fast ) time..my mom’s recipe was very simple to make shikran with three ingredients..bananna ,milk and jaggery(gul/gud shakkar) …I give little more flavor to this recipe by adding cardamom in summers and kesar (saffron) in winters …banana is rich in carbohydrate ,vitamin a and c ,with lots of fibres ,combination of this fruit with milk gives healthy recipe… [ingredients title=”Ingredients”]

  • 2 ripened bananas
  • 1 cup cold or warm whole milk/toned milk (for kids use whole milk)—I personaly prefer the cold milk (not chilled)
  • 2 teaspoon jaggery (gul/gud shakar )powder/demerara sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grounded cardamom powder/ 1 pinch of kesar (saffron)
  • 1 tablespoon raisins / dry black currants (manuka)
  • 4 almonds 

[/ingredients] [directions title=”Directions”]

Blanch almonds  🙂 Now the question is how to blanch almonds?

[/directions] Notes

  1. Prepare this custard (shikran) when you want to eat it , don’t store it …
  2. Use ripened bananas for making shikran …
  3. Use cardamom for flavor in summers and kesar (saffron) in winters..Without any worries of cold you can eat shikran(banana ) custard in winters by adding 4-5 strands of saffron in it..
  4. Use Baby Bananas if you have cold problem after eating bananas  
  5. Banana custard is strictly no no for diabetic people
  6. Don’t add plain sugar in place of jaggery(gul/gud shakar) /demerara sugar
