Now we can eat cabbage vadas/fritters at any time quickly. No soaking & grinding. Just chop & mix all the ingredients & deep fry. I got this recipe from a food group in facebook called KONKANI AMCHI FOOD posted by Mangala S. Rao. & she told she learnt this recipe from her mother in law. I really love such food groups where we get so many yummy & easy recipes. One of my friend suggested to add small boiled & mashed potatoes to this batter & it binds well. I didn't add in this recipe btw.



INGREDIENTS:-                                                               

3-4 cups chopped cabbage                      

1-2 cups chopped onions
2 tsp red chilli powder
Rice Flour as needed (1-2 cup)
Tamarind - chana size..( soak in water n use )
salt to taste
oil for frying.

METHOD:-

1. Chop cabbage and rinse it with cold water. 

2. Shake it and let all the water drain. 

3. Mix cabbage, onions, Tamrind and salt. Keep this mixture ready.

4. To the cabbage-onion mix, add 1-2 cup Rice Flour and red chilli powder and mix.
