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!

  27. Hi,

    First time here and I loved it...Never heard of cabbage fritters...and that too without onions..so basically the dish stands on the strength of the cabbage alone...WOnderful option. Shall try them soon.
