Ingredients
  

  • ½ head green cabbage, core removed and finely sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks green onion, sliced
  • 4 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup flour
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 small green chilis, finely minced
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4-6 tbsp water
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl stir together cabbage, onion, green onion, cilantro, ½ cup flour, corn starch, cumin, pepper, chili powder, minced green chilis, chicken bouillon, and salt. Mix together until well combined.
  • Cover and let mixture set for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle another ½ cup flour on top of the cabbage mixture and add the baking soda.
  • Add water a few tablespoons at a time and stir to combine. Add just enough water to make a thick batter. Batter should not be thin and runny, it should be more paste like in consistency.
  • Heat about a ½ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot, drop cabbage by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown.
  • Flip them over half way through frying to ensure they are evenly browned on both sides.
  • Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel lined platter.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
