Today I am sharing a tasty street food of Pakistan i.e. Katlama. Katlama is a typical traditional Lahori snack usually available in the festival season.
Pakistan, our friendly neighbourhood. we have many similarities in our cuisine and culture, that’s why we love their food as much as we love ours. These day’s I am exploring their cuisine and I found some very interesting vegetarian recipes. I tried some of them and it came out to be so good that I really wanted to share with you all.
In India, we love street food the taste, aroma and feel of street food is awesome Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and meant for immediate consumption and I know my friendly neighbour Pakistan also agree with me.
As a matter of fact, Katlama is a Pakistani flatbread/roti. Moreover, Its taste is very much like the Indian dal kachori. The only difference I found is that, we stuff filling in kachori and they topped it with dal mixture and fry it. But, it tastes awesome, katlama is basically a street food of Pakistan. Enjoy!!
