When it comes to frying your crispy cabbage and carrot fritters, selecting the right oil is crucial for both flavor and texture. Vegetable oil is a popular choice due to its high smoke point, which makes it ideal for frying. Oils like canola or peanut oil are also great options as they can withstand higher temperatures without breaking down.

Ingredients
  

2 cups finely shredded green cabbage

1 cup grated carrots

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

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

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix well until evenly distributed.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Add the dry mixture to the vegetables and stir to coat. Then, add the beaten egg and mix until everything is well combined. If the mixture seems too loose, add a little more flour until you achieve a thick, moldable consistency. Fold in the chopped herbs.

        Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of the mixture into the pan; it should sizzle upon contact.

          Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or your hands, scoops out tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture, gently placing them into the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

            Drain: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

              Serve: Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as yogurt sauce, sour cream, or a tangy dipping sauce. Enjoy your crispy fritters!
