Cabbage pakoda

Everytime I buy cabbage, I finally end up in purchasing bigger sized one. I like to add this juicy vegetable in most of my dishes like fried rice, spring rolls, vada, raita & so on. And this time I made this crispy pakoda with cabbage & few other handy ingredients. It was crispy & great with jeera rice. Nice twist yet taste delicious.

Ingredients :

1. Shredded cabbage - 2 cups
2. Besan - 3 tbsp
3. Rice flour - 3 tbsp
4. Red chilly powder - 2 tsp
5. Green chillies - 2 nos
6. Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
7. Onion - 1 no
8. Curry leaves - 1 tbsp
9. Oil - 1 tsp + for frying

Method :

1. Combine shredded cabbage, besan, rice flour, red chilly powder, finely chopped green chillies, baking soda, finely chopped onion, curry leaves & 1 tsp hot oil.

2. Dont add water (if necessary add 1 tsp of water) (After 3 min, onion & cabbage release some water which is enough for the batter)

3. Heat oil in the frying pan & deep fry the pakoda till golden brown and crispy on either sides.

Serve warm with tomato ketchup.

Note:

Addition of ginger garlic paste will enhances the flavour & taste too.
