Ingredients
- 2 cup cabbage finely chopped
- 1 cup carrot shredded then finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 L oil
- 2-3 tablespoon water depends how much water the veggies release
Instructions
- Releasing the water: Mix all the chopped veggies, salt and sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes so the veggies will release some water.
- Making the batter: Mix in the flour and water until they are sticky enough. Form the mixture into balls about the size of golf balls.
- Deep frying: Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Fry the veggies balls until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
Notes
- Prep the Vegetables: Chop the cabbage and celery into very small pieces. This makes them easier to blend with the flour and ensures they cook fast.
- Vegetable-to-Flour Ratio: Aim for roughly four parts of vegetables to one part flour in your mixture. Adjust the moisture by adding more flour or water. The goal is to create a sticky mixture that can be shaped into balls.
- Check Oil Temperature: To see if the oil is hot enough for frying, sprinkle a bit of batter into it. If the batter sizzles upon contact, the oil is ready to use.
