How to make Cabbage Pakoda | Cabbage Poakodi
Cabbage Pakoda or Cabbage pakora is an easy evening snack. My hubby, bought 1 kg of big cabbage last week. After scolding him😒 for buying so much big cabbage, i prepared cabbage sambar, cabbage poriyal, but still i had another 1/2 kg of cabbage.
So while browsing for some recipes, i saw this cabbage pakora in one of the site and tried the same method, as we do for onion pakora. It came out as a crispy snack and I am happy😜 that I finished my cabbage finally. I normally prepare the cauliflower pakora or the crispy cauliflower fry as evening snack and this cabbage pakora has now become one of our family favorite ☺️ .
