Riyad Mahrez's fourth goal of the season quickly cancelled out Tottenham's opener and maintained Leicester's unbeaten start.
Tottenham broke the deadlock with nine minutes to go when Dele Alli converted Nacer Chadli's cross from close range.
But Mahrez, who had earlier hit the post, replied just 90 seconds later with a fierce left-footed finish.
The Foxes went closest to taking three points when Hugo Lloris kept out Wes Morgan's header.
Kane fails to shine in front of Hodgson
England manager Roy Hodgson names his squad for September's Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland next week and was at King Power Stadium to check on Tottenham's Harry Kane and Leicester's Jamie Vardy.
Both forwards were involved in their side's goals, with Kane helping to start the move that ended with Alli heading home from close range, and Vardy's header giving him an assist even if Leicester's goal owed much more to Mahrez's magic.
Vardy was his usual energetic self, causing Spurs plenty of problems without ever looking like scoring himself.
Kane, who is yet to score this season after notching 31 times in 2014-15, had a poor first half but showed flashes of his old self in the second period, notably when he forced his way past two Leicester defenders and forced Kasper Schmeichel into a save.
But it was Mahrez who was the game's star performer and the Algerian's goal capped another fine display on the wing.
Tottenham miss Christian Eriksen
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said before the game that his need for another striker to help Kane was "obvious".
He will not have seen anything against the Foxes to change that opinion, with West Brom's Saido Berahino looking like the leading contender to plug that gap.
What will also concern Pochettino is his side's lack of creativity against Leicester with Christian Eriksen absent with a knee injury.
Eriksen's absence left Mousa Dembele, Nacer Chadli and Erik Lamela as the attacking trio behind Kane.
Dembele had a couple of shots from distance in the first half, Chadli set up Spurs' goal, but Lamela was again ineffective as Tottenham struggled to turn their superior possession into chances.
