*boiled - You can pressure cook the sweet potato by keeping it inside a vessel without adding any water. Cook for 3 whisltes. The cooked sweet potatoes should be firm and not mushy.
You can cut them into 4 pieces and boil in a pan filled with water. Boil them until they are cooked and yet firm.
Method:
In a bowl add the ingredients given under the heading "to marinade". Combine them well and let this sit for 5 minutes.
In a pan add the sweet potato mixture and let this roast in a small flame for 3-4 minutes.
I have seen in few websites, they deep fried the potatoes. I don't want to deep fry.
Take this out from the pan and spread it on a plate.
Sprinkle some green chutney and sweet chutney.
Beat the yogurt well and sprinkle some on this. Let the yogurt be chilled and thick.
Sprinkle jeera powder, chaat masala and red chili powder.
Sprinkle with sev and garnish with coriander leaves.

You can make aloo chaat instead of sweet potato chaat.
Even you can use left over idlis for this recipe and can serve idli chaat.
You can add moong sprouts and pomegranate seeds to the chaat.
You can add finely chopped onions and tomatoes to the chaat.
