Sweet Potato Tikki Recipe: How To Make Shakarkandi Tikki
Sweet potato tikki, also known as shakarkandi tikki, is a famous North Indian snack that is prepared mainly during vrats or fasts. Here is a detailed procedure along with images and a video.
Sweet potato tikki is a perfect alternative if you are bored of adding potatoes to your cooking. Also known as the shakarkandi tikki, it is made by pan frying the boiled sweet potatoes with a load of Indian spices.
The sweet potato cutlet has a tinge of sweetness and tanginess of the lemon along with the spices, which makes it a perfect blend. This recipe is an all-time favourite during upvas and hence, we have used buckwheat while binding the tikki dough.
The delectable sweet potato and buckwheat tikki is a simple recipe to prepare and does not require too much of an effort while preparing it. This tikki goes best with the phalhari green chutney.
If you are longing to eat some mouth-watering snacks and want to prepare them at home, then read the step-by-step procedure along with images and also watch a video of the sweet potato tikki recipe.

- 1. We use chaat masala here that has regular salt. If you are making this during any vrat, you can either skip the chaat masala or make it at home with rock salt.
- 2. If the tikki breaks while frying, you can add some more cornflour to the dough to bind it properly.
- 3. You can grill the tikkis instead of pan frying them as well.
