Ingredients
- 1 cup Cabbage, sliced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds Powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander Seeds Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 2 Green Chillies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1 cup Besan (Gram Flour)
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 1 teaspoon Sugar, optional
- Salt to taste
- Oil, for frying
- Water as needed, to make the batter
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add sliced cabbage, onions, ginger garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, green chilles, cilantro, turmeric, carom seeds (ajwain), salt and sugar.
- Keep this mixture aside for about 5 minutes. Adding salt and spices makes the cabbage and onion release its water which we will use to make the batter. We will try not to add any excess water for making the batter.
- Now add besan and rice flour gradually.
- Here you need to eyeball the quantity of gram flour (besan) & rice flour as we are not going to use any water. The quantity mentioned in the ingredient list is how much I ended up adding.
- The pakoda batters should not be too thick and not too runny either. In case if you feel the batter has become very hard then sprinkle little water (1 tablespoon) but otherwise try to avoid it as much as possible.
- Heat oil in a kadai or deep pan over a medium to high flame. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of batter. If it instantly floats on top that means the oil is ready for frying.
- Carefully drop the pakodas into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd, Always drop these pakodas in hot oil on a high flame and when all the pakodas are in the oil turn the flame to medium-low.
- Fry these cabbage pakodas for about 5-7 minutes on medium flame till they are nicely fried to golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the pakodas onto an absorbent paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Crispy patta gobi ke pakode (cabbage pakoda) is ready.
- Serve hot with your favourite dip or with pipping hot tea or coffee.

Notes
Fry these pakodas on medium heat.
Tip:
1). If you want to avoid deep frying then adjust the consistency of the batter and make small tikkis and shallow fry.
2). You can also add extra vegetables if you like.
