How to make Crispy Cabbage Fry / Cabbage 65
Cut the cabbage into julienne pieces and place them in a bowl.
Add chilli powder, turmeric powder, pepper powder, cumin powder, ginger garlic paste, and salt. Mix well.
Add corn flour and besan flour. Sprinkle some water to make the mixture stick to the cabbage. The batter should be thick, not watery.
Heat oil for deep frying.
Take a small portion of the cabbage mixture and gently drop it into the hot oil. Spread it out to avoid clumping.
Fry until crispy. Repeat with the remaining cabbage mixture.
Turn off the flame and deep fry the curry leaves and green chilli for a few seconds. Remove from oil and add to the cabbage fry. Mix well.
