Bengal Gram & Cabbage Fritters

by Shaheen Ali

With the onset of monsoon comes the season of pakodas, bhajiyas n fritters. In India specially we have a big craze of enjoying rains with variety of bhajjis and a hot cup of tea or coffee. The more the friiters are crunchy the more we enjoy the rainy season. If you have some cabbge left in your storage and thinking what to do with it…just make these amazing cabbage fritters binded with chana dal. Perfect tea time snack in monsoon and even a great tiffin option for kids.


Bengal gram aka chana dal is a perfect binding agent when it comes to kebabs, cutlets or vadas. Here you can use Masoor dal/ pink lentil too instead of chana dal for a change in flovour.Though the process of cooking will remain the same. The fritters can be shaped as per your choice and preference. I shaped them into flat vadas but my mom usually make small tiny nuggets with them. All you need is to keep the batter a bit thick so that you can shape them easily. Another easy option for all those who keep a check on calories id to air fry them or bake them.

Serve this crunchy munchy snack with your favorite dip and a cup of tea and enjoy it along with the rains in your balcony or porch.
