Ingredients
For the Yam
- 1 large Yam suran
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil for frying
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Tamarind Chutney
For the Spice Blend
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1/4 tsp Salt black
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Powder jeera powder
For Garnishing
- 1/4 cup Onion optional, red, thinly sliced
Instructions
Prepare the Yam
- Boil 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of salt. Peel and cut the yam into 1-inch cubes. Add the yam cubes to the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
- Drain the yam cubes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the yam cubes and shallow fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Tamarind Chutney
- In a small saucepan, combine the tamarind ball (or paste) with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the tamarind is softened.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. You can blend the mixture for a smoother chutney, or leave it slightly chunky.
Assemble the Chaat
- In a large bowl, combine the crispy yam cubes with the tamarind chutney, red chili powder, black salt, cumin powder, and salt. Mix gently to coat the yam evenly.
- Garnish with thinly sliced red onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Yam Chaat
- For extra crispy yam cubes, pat them dry with a paper towel before frying.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- For a more intense tamarind flavor, use tamarind paste instead of a tamarind ball.
- Feel free to add other garnishes, such as chopped cilantro, sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles), or pomegranate seeds, to enhance the flavor and presentation.
