• You can also add other toppings like yogurt, sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles), or pomegranate seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Storage and Serving

• Sweet Potato Chaat is best served immediately after preparation to enjoy the crispy texture of the roasted sweet potatoes.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the chaat in a preheated oven or microwave before serving to regain the crispiness.
