YAM CHAAT

I usually serve this for breakfast when I haven't had time to prepare for anything else. Its healthy, easy and quick. What's more, I marinate these into our Pyrex glass bowls, that we can carry to work. Then we just microwave them at our offices, just before we are about to have lunch and squeeze in the lime and devour it hot! 

To make it spicier add a dash of green coriander mint chutney. I have used White Yam in this recipe but use whatever is available. You can replace the Yams with potatoes too. This is a great Lunch idea for those cold winter afternoons when you want to bite into something hot and spicy without spending hours in the kitchen. And why restrict it to Lunch alone, you can have it for breakfast, appetizer or as a snack too.
