🥬 Crispy Cabbage Egg Fritters

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 fritters)

• 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about ½ medium head)

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup all-purpose flour (or rice flour for extra crispiness)

• ¼ cup grated carrot (optional but adds color & sweetness)

• 2 tbsp chopped green onions

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp paprika

• ¼ tsp turmeric (optional, for color & anti-inflammatory boost)

Optional add-ins:

• ½ cup shredded cheese

• ¼ tsp chili flakes

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cabbage

1. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or mandoline.

2. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt.

3. Let sit for 10 minutes (this softens it slightly).

4. Squeeze gently to remove excess moisture if very watery.

2️⃣ Make the Batter

5. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well.

6. Add:

   • Flour

   • Garlic

   • Green onions

   • Carrot (if using)

   • Salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric

   • Baking powder

7. Mix until smooth.

8. Fold in shredded cabbage.

   • The mixture should be thick but scoopable.

   • If too wet → add 1–2 tbsp more flour.

   • If too thick → add 1 tbsp water or milk.

3️⃣ Cook the Fritters

9. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

10. Add 1–2 tbsp oil.

11. Scoop about ¼ cup of mixture per fritter into the pan.

12. Flatten gently with a spoon.

Cook:

• 3–4 minutes on first side until golden brown.

• Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through.

Adjust heat if browning too fast.

4️⃣ Serve

13. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.

14. Serve warm.
