About Sweet potato
Sweet potato, or shakarkandi, is roasted on coals by winter street vendors and served with chaat masala and lemon.
- The USDA row is the orange-fleshed sweet potato; the pale shakarkandi common in north India is similar but not identical.
- Roasting removes water, so roasted sweet potato is denser per gram.
