Cabbage Pakoda / Cabbage Pakodi Recipe – South Indian (Andhra) Style Crispy Cabbage Pakoras or Fritters.
These crispy pakoras are from Andhra Pradesh, South India. The texture and taste are completely different from the regular pakoras. These are very similar to our Andhra Ulli Pakodi where we use only onions.

Notes
Adding the hot oil to the dough will make the fritters crispy. So do not skip it.
Add only required water little by little. If you add more water, the pakoras will not be crispy.
Deep fry them over the medium flame. If you fry them over a low flame, they will be soggy and absorb so much oil.
You can avoid onions if you don't want but it gives the taste and flavor.

The pakodas look really enticing. Now that the monsoon is here, the evenings (especially those of the weekends) call for such hot and spicy pakodas.. What could be better than just sitting by the balcony and enjoying the rains sipping hot tea and pakodas. Thank you so much for the recipe 🙂Reply
