Ingredients
- 200 gm raw sweet potato
- ½ tsp sendha namak or rock salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper powder
- ½ tsp chat masala
- 1 lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash and cut into pieces (if they are big in size) and transfer to a pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover them. Cover the lid and pressure cook up to 2- 3 whistles.
- Note: Cooking of sweet potato depends on the type and quality of sweet potato. That we can not assume just look at them. So, I would recommend first pressure cook up to 2 whistles and then check with inserting a knife inside the sweet potato. If it seems soft from inside then just drain the water otherwise go for 1 more whistle and then drain out extra water.
- Once the pressure is released, open the lid. Insert a knife or fork in the sweet potato and check if is well cooked from inside. If cooked well then strain extra water and let them cool a little bit.
- Peel off the outer skin and cut into ½ inch pieces.
- Transfer to a serving plate or bowl. Sprinkle sendha namak, black pepper powder, chat masala and squeeze lemon juice in the last. Serve immediately.

Notes
- First pressure cook up to 2 whistle and check if they become soft from inside if not then pressure cook it for 1 more whistle.
- Over cooking make them mushy and under cooking make them hard to eat. For a best taste they are cooked well from inside.
- To make it more spicy add red chilli powder or green chilli accordingly. you can also sprinkle little green chutney to give it a new flavour.
- If you are making it for fasting time use sendha namak otherwise black salt or white can be used.
