Add salt, chopped green chillies and toss. Keep aside for half an hour.
The cabbage releases water after adding salt. We are not using any water for this recipe. We make use of the water in the cabbage to make a mixture.
Now add half of the cornflour and besan to this and mix. Do not squeeze the cabbage.
Mix using fingertips. Add more flour if you think it is runny.
Add the shredded carom leaves and mix. The mixture should be neither too thick nor too thin.
Heat oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, drop small dumplings into the hot oil.
Fry till golden brown and transfer to a kitchen tissue.
Notes
* Fry few curry leaves and some cashews in the same oil and mix with the fried fritters.** If you do not want to add corn flour, substitute with the same amount of rice flour.*** I try to avoid food colour as much as possible in my recipes, thus the colour of the fritters is golden brown. You can add food colour if you want.
