Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups finely shredded cabbage
½ small brown onion finely sliced
2–3 spring onions finely sliced
¾ cup self-raising flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
1–2 tablespoons dairy free milk such as oat milk or soy milk, if needed
canola oil for frying

Instructions

Combine the cabbage, brown onion, spring onions, self-raising flour, garlic powder, curry powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Crack in the eggs and stir well to combine.
The mixture will slowly come together as the cabbage releases its moisture. If the batter feels too thick, add the dairy free milk a little at a time until a thick, sticky batter forms. You may not need it at all.
Set the bowl aside and allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, which helps the batter come together further.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, scoop a ¼ cup of batter per fritter into the pan and gently flatten each one into a round. Cook for 3–4 minutes each side, until deep golden and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Serve hot.

Notes

Tip! A mandoline makes slicing the cabbage and onion finely and evenly really easy. If you don't have one, just use a sharp knife.

Flour: If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can use plain flour and add 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder.

Yield: This recipe makes 8 fritters which will serve 2-3 people as a meal depending on if you serve any additional sides with them such as a poached egg or a green salad.
