Kat Vada is a popular street food from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, known for its spicy and tangy flavors. It consists of deep-fried vada (fritters) made from a spiced potato mixture, which is then dunked in a flavorful and spicy gravy called “kat.” The kat is made with a blend of spices, onions, tomatoes, and tamarind, giving it a rich and tangy taste. The crispy vada absorbs the spicy kat, creating a delicious combination of textures and flavors. Kat Vada is often served with chopped onions, coriander leaves, and a squeeze of lemon, enhancing its taste and freshness. It is a must-try for those who enjoy bold and flavorful street food.
