Indian Cabbage Fritters (Pakoda)

Spicy and crispy!

Delicious vegan fritters (stuffed with cabbage and onions) aka pakodas or pakoras. This recipe is from Urban Farmie and makes 16 fritters.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cabbage head, chopped finely

  • ⅓ red onion, medium, chopped finely

  • 1 jalapeno, chopped finely - optional

  • 1 cup chickpea flour

  • ¼ cup rice flour, for crispiness (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoon red chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ⅓ cup water, use ¼ cup if using besan flour instead - add slowly to ensure right consistency

Instructions

  1. If using oven, preheat to 425F (on roast setting, if that's avaiable). Or pre-heat the air-fryer to 380F.

  2. Add the chopped cabbage, onions, jalapenos, flour, spices and oil into a mixing bowl

  3. Stir well, add the water and fold into a rough batter. Make sure to not add too much water as this can cause the fritter to disintegrate - you want just enough to hold the ingredients together but not be watery.

  4. Take a scoop of batter the size of a small lemon and shape into a fritter - place on a lined baking sheet if using an oven, roughly 2 inches apart. If using an air fryer, place into the air fryer basket evenly spaced out.

  5. Once the air-fryer or oven is ready, pop the fritters in. If using the oven, bake for 15 minutes, then turn over and bake for another 10 until your fritters are crispy and brown. If using air fryer, bake for 15 - 20 minutes until crispy and brown.

  6. Serve hot, with ketchup and/or mint chutney for a perfect snack!
