In Delhi, where the original shakarkandi chaat recipe was created, it is sold by street food vendors from their thelas (handcarts). Shakarkand ki chat or sweet potato chat is a popular North Indian street food which is tangy and spicy at the same time. Usually served during winters, seasoned with chat masala, lemon, tamarind chutney. This is also a common ingredient to consume during fasting days (Navratri, Ekadshi, Janamashtmi).
