Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 grams (17.6 ounces) cabbage, shredded
- 3 eggs
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) flour
- 1 teaspoon (8 grams) salt
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) ground red pepper
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) black pepper
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (75 grams) yogurt
- 2 sprigs dill, chopped
- 1 cucumber, grated
- Red powdered pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant mixture by thoroughly blending shredded cabbage, diced onions, crushed garlic, eggs, flour, and a medley of seasonings in a spacious mixing vessel until ingredients harmonize completely.
- Warm vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the surface is evenly heated to approximately 350°F.
- Scoop generous spoonfuls of the cabbage blend, gently transforming each into compact, rustic pancake-like formations with slightly pressed edges.
- Carefully slide fritters into the sizzling oil, allowing each side to transform into a crisp, golden-amber landscape, approximately 2-3 minutes per surface.
- While fritters crisp, swiftly prepare the accompanying sauce by whisking yogurt with finely chopped dill, grated cucumber, and a hint of red powdered pepper until smooth and well-integrated.
- Transfer freshly fried fritters onto absorbent paper to eliminate excess oil, maintaining their delicate crunch.
- Plate the golden fritters immediately, adorning each with a generous dollop of the cool, herbaceous yogurt sauce, creating a tantalizing temperature and texture contrast.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from shredded cabbage by salting and letting it sit for 10 minutes, then squeezing out water to prevent soggy fritters.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting wheat flour with almond flour or chickpea flour for a lighter, crispy texture.
- Experiment with spice levels by adjusting red and black pepper to suit personal heat preferences, adding smoked paprika for deeper flavor complexity.
- Ensure even cooking by maintaining consistent oil temperature around 350°F and avoiding overcrowding the pan to achieve perfectly golden, crispy fritters.
