FromFamilyNFriends: Cabbage Fritters

This is from my Mother-In-Law. She is an accomplished cook and I am in awe of her culinary talent. Lets just say that her cooking experience and knowledge far exceeds my age. This cabbage fritters are one of her specialty.Be sure to give them a try and have it with a cup of coffee/tea. Umm delectable.

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 small cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp curry leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
• 3 hot green chillies, thinly sliced
• 4-5 tbsp rice flour
• 6 tbsp chickpea flour(sold as 'Besan' flour in Indian stores)
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
• Salt for taste
• 4-5 cups Corn Oil for deep frying

Procedure:

• Wash the cabbage leaves after cutting. Drain and add it to a wide bowl.
• Add all the other ingredients and mix it thoroughly(for at-least 2 minutes) with hands. The moisture in the cabbage leaves will suffice. No need to add water.The mixture should look something similar to the one in the picture:
 
• Heat the corn oil  in a thick bottomed pan and add the thick cabbage mixture to it in batches.
• Remove from pan once it is evenly browned on all sides.
• Serve as is or with a steaming cup of tea/coffee.

Makes 4-5 mid-sized servings.

 

Enjoy!
