Spicy cabbage fritters are my new addiction….I have a love-hate relation with cabbage. I love the stir fried cabbage but hate the powerful offending smell of those green leaves when grated. Only for that reason, I always hesitated to cook cabbage.
Yesterday while thinking about making snacks and having some cabbage leaves left over in my refrigerator, I remembered one of the local cooking channels in my native featuring a spicy cabbage fritters recipe. Unfortunately, I had forgotten most of the ingredients they listed. But that will not be a problem…… I can make my own ingredients and this is what I came up with….
Spicy Cabbage Fritters
- 3/4 cup grated cabbage
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 tsp ginger paste
- 1-2 green chilli chopped
- 3-4 tbsp chickpea flour
- 1 tsp asafoetida
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- Curry leaves
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp water
- Oil for frying
-
Mix together the chopped onion, cabbage, green chilli ginger paste and curry leaves in a bowl.
-
Add the chickpea flour, chilli powder, asafoetida and salt to the cabbage mix.
-
Mix everything well. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
-
Now add water to bind everything together. Mix again to make thick dough like batter.
-
Heat oil in a pan. Always keep the flame on medium.
-
Now apply a little water to both hands to avoid the batter from sticking.
-
Take a spoonful of batter in one palm. Make it into a small round shape.
-
Add this into the hot oil. Continue with the remaining batter.
-
Fry on medium heat until both sides are golden brown.
-
Remove from oil.
-
Serve hot with your favorite sauce.
2: Transfer the fried fritters to a tissue paper to remove any excess oil.
Although grating cabbage is still a process, I am going to make it often…
Why?….Why…
I told ya…. I am now addicted to this healthy, Spicy Cabbage Fritters….
Happy Cooking
