Crispy Cabbage Fritters

Crispy Cabbage Fritters

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cabbage (finely shredded)
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup flour (or ⅓ cup flour + 2 tbsp cornstarch for extra crispiness)
• 1 small onion (grated or finely chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• ½ tsp baking powder (optional, makes them fluffier)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley or dill (chopped)
• Oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Cabbage:
   
   • Slice cabbage very thinly (like in the picture).
   • Sprinkle lightly with salt and massage for 2 minutes to soften.
3. Make the Batter:
   
   • In a bowl, beat eggs.
   • Add onion, garlic, flour, baking powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
   • Mix in cabbage until well coated. Batter should be sticky but not runny (add a little flour if too wet).
5. Fry the Fritters:
   
   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Drop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture and flatten slightly.
   • Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
   
   • Drain on paper towels.
   • Serve hot with sour cream, garlic yogurt sauce, or spicy ketchup.
