Katlat is a traditional snack made from mashed potatoes mixed with spices and herbs, shaped into patties and pan-fried until golden and crispy. Served hot, these patties make a delicious appetizer or side dish.

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the mashed potato, chopped onions, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and cornflour.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to form a smooth dough-like mixture.
  3. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape each into a flat round patty.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Tips for Savory Katlat Patties

  • A well-formed patty should hold together when lifted; if the mixture feels too soft, chill it briefly before shaping.
  • Look for an even golden crust and a firm surface; overcrowding the pan can make the patties steam instead of crisp.
  • Serve promptly for the crispest edges, with chutney or ketchup alongside rather than underneath.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry cider
Its bright, lightly fruity character complements the savory spices and cuts through the crisp, pan-fried exterior.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat in a pan until steaming hot to help restore the crisp exterior.
