3. Grind the soaked Bengal gram along with cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, cloves to a coarse paste adding water little by little.

6. Heat the oil in a pan or kadai in medium flame. Drop the vadai slowly into the oil. Slightly rotate the vadai for even cooking. When the vadai turns light brown colour in all the sides, remove from oil. Filter the oil in a kitchen towel and serve hot.

Notes:
1. If you have added more water to your mixture, that you cant get the perfect shape, add 1 or 2 tbsp of rice flour.
2. Do not keep the vadai mixture for a long time, as it becomes sour and sucks more oil, when frying.
3. If you are a beginner, fry one vadai first and check for the taste. Then fry the vadai in batches.

Cabbage Pakoda | Cabbage Pakora | Cabbage Fritters | How to make cabbage pakodi | Easy Evening Snacks | Tea Time Snacks


cabbage pakora

Cabbage Pakoda or Cabbage pakora is an easy evening snack. My hubby, bought 1 kg of big cabbage last week. After scolding him😒 for buying so much big cabbage, i prepared cabbage sambar, cabbage poriyal, but still i had another 1/2 kg of cabbage. So while browsing for some recipes, i saw this cabbage pakora in one of the site and tried the same method, as we do for onion pakora. It came out as a crispy snack and I am happy😜 that I finished my cabbage finally. I normally prepare the cauliflower pakora or the crispy cauliflower fry as evening snack and this cabbage pakora has now become one of our family favorite ☺️ .
