Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded finely
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
- 2 large eggs, beaten (or flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- A handful of parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage into thin ribbons using a grater or sharp knife. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and parsley to the cabbage. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth. Add a splash of water if the batter seems too thick.
- Pour the batter over the cabbage mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon a small portion of the cabbage mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
[‘Shred the cabbage finely for better texture.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispy fritters.’, ‘Test the oil temperature before frying by dropping a small piece of batter into the pan.’, ‘Customize the seasoning with spices like cumin, curry powder, or Italian seasoning.’]
