Cabbage pakoras are a popular South Indian snack made with shredded cabbage, gram flour, and spices. They are crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. Cabbage pakoras are perfect for a quick and easy snack or appetizer. They are also a great addition to any party or potluck.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup water
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, salt, black pepper, cilantro, and green onions.
2. Add the water and mix well to form a thick batter.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
4. Drop the batter into the hot oil by spoonfuls.
5. Fry the pakoras for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the pakoras from the oil and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite chutney or sauce.

Tips:

• For extra crispy pakoras, make sure the oil is hot before frying.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more water. If the batter is too thin, add a little more gram flour.
• Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying. If the pan is too crowded, the pakoras will not cook evenly.
• Serve the pakoras immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Enjoy!

Here are some additional tips for making the best cabbage pakoras:

• Use fresh, crisp cabbage. The older the cabbage, the softer the pakoras will be.
• Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the pakoras to cook evenly.
• Don't overmix the batter. A slightly lumpy batter will produce crispier pakoras.
• Add a pinch of baking soda to the batter for extra fluffiness.
• Use a neutral-flavored oil for frying, such as peanut oil or vegetable oil.
• Fry the pakoras in batches so that the oil temperature remains constant.
• Don't overcook the pakoras. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and flavorful on the inside.

Serve the cabbage pakoras with your favorite chutney or sauce. Some popular options include:

• Mint chutney
• Tamarind chutney
• Green chutney
• Tomato ketchup
• Mango chutney

Cabbage pakoras are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack to make, give cabbage pakoras a try!
