Cabbage Fritters Recipe

Cabbage Fritters Recipe

Description

These crispy and savory cabbage fritters are made with fresh shredded cabbage, eggs, flour, and seasonings. They are lightly pan-fried to golden perfection — crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. Perfect as a snack, breakfast, or side dish!

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cabbage

• 1 small carrot (grated, optional for color and flavor)

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)

• 2 tbsp chopped green onions or herbs (like parsley or cilantro)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables:
   Shred cabbage finely and grate the carrot. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the batter:
   Add eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and seasonings to the vegetables. Mix well until the cabbage is evenly coated. If the batter seems too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of water.

3. Heat oil:
   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil.

4. Cook the fritters:
   Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flatten gently, and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

5. Serve:
   Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ketchup, yogurt dip, or spicy mayo.

Servings

Makes 8–10 fritters (serves 3–4 people).

Notes & Tips

• You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.

• For a gluten-free version, replace flour with rice flour or chickpea flour.

• To make them crispier, don’t overcrowd the pan and keep the heat medium-high.

• These fritters can be air-fried or baked for a healthier version.

Yes! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or air fryer for crispiness.

Q3: Can I use red cabbage?
Yes, but it will slightly change the color and taste — still delicious!

Q4: Are these kid-friendly?
Yes! They’re mild, nutritious, and can be served with ketchup or cheese sauce.
