Cabbage Vadi (पत्तागोबी वडी)

This week had been a real hectic one with a lot of work happening both at the personal and professional front. Still my enthusiasm of making something new was not ready to fizz out. On a quick check ,the only thing i found in the fridge was a fresh Cabbage. But the cook in me shuddered at the sheer thought of making a routine sabzi with it. At last, I made this Vadi which gave a facelift to the humble veggie and believe me it was quite a hit. So here comes the recipe :

Ingredients:

1 medium Cabbage- (finely chopped )

1 cup besan

1 cup rice floor

Ginger-Garlic paste- 2 spoons

Cumin Seeds- 1 spoon

Turmeric Powder - 2 teaspoons

Salt & Chilly Powder to taste

Oil

Method:

Mix all ingredients (except oil) in a bowl .Remember not to add much water as cabbage already is rich in water content.
The batter should be as thick as the one we use for making idli .

Grease the cooker pan and pour batter into it.
For steaming , use the cooker by removing the whistle.
Steam for 15-20 minutes.

Let it cool for 10 minutes then cut into diamond shaped pieces.

You can eat the steamed vadi without frying it as it is quite healthy.
Many people prefer deep frying to make vadi's crisp but i preferred a shallow fry .
