An irate latke at Hanukkah escapes from being cooked in a hot frying pan. Potato remains the most popular variety of latke. This version of latke is made with pureed potatoes. Ramesh Latke is a Shiv Sena politician from Mumbai, Maharashtra. "Kirkus Review" felt that Latke, the dog, was a "charismatic star" in an unoriginal story. The latke exclaims that it is something completely different, and runs away screaming. The latke points out that its smell is a reminder of greater modern religious freedom. Latke assumes that the Hanukkah food and presents are for him.
