cabbage pakoda or cabbage pakora recipe with step by step photos – another easy and tasty fried snack of cabbage fritters that can be made quickly.

whilst growing up, mom would make different types of pakoras and cabbage pakoda was one of them. she would serve cabbage pakodas piping hot with mint-coriander chutney and tomato sauce. bread would accompany the cabbage pakoras and we would finish up everything before the next batch of pakoras came.

living and growing up in mumbai, i was exposed to a variety of food and cuisines, not only outside, but also in my home. my mom often used to try new recipes and make them for us. even today she tries new recipes and makes them at home.

the recipe for making cabbage pakoda is simple and easy. while making pakoras, i always avoid adding baking soda to batter. i do not like the taste of the pakoras when baking soda is added to it. if you want to add baking soda in this recipe, you could do so.

to make these crisp and tasty pakoras, you can either use the regular green cabbage or red purple cabbage. the pakoras taste good with either of them. adding onions is optional. for a no onion version, just skip the onions.

serve these golden crisp cabbage pakoras with a green chutney or pudina chutney or tomato ketchup.
