Ingredients
  

2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup carrots, grated

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)

2 large eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or cilantro)

Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the cabbage and grating the carrots. Place them in a large bowl along with the chopped onion and minced garlic.

    Mix the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Once combined, add the eggs and mix until a smooth batter forms.

      Combine: Pour the batter over the vegetable mixture. Add the chopped parsley and mix until everything is well-coated and evenly distributed. You want a thick consistency; if the mixture seems too wet, add a touch more flour.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. It should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles when added.

          Fry the Fritters: Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, drop the vegetable batter into the hot oil. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

            Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with more salt while they're hot, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve your crispy cabbage and carrot fritters warm, with a dollop of yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce!
