Cabbage Wadi or Steamed Cabbage Cakes

Ingredients

Cabbage- 1 small- 2 cups minced

Gram Flour- 1 cup

Semolina – 2 tbsp

Wheat flour – 2 tsp

Roasted sesame seeds- 2 tbsp

Chilli powder- 1 tsp

Turmeric- 1/4 tsp

Garam masala- 1/2 tsp

Green chilli- 3

Coriander leaves- 1/4 cup chopped

Garlic & Ginger, grated- 2 tsp

Salt- to taste

Oil- 1 tsp to add in the mixture

Oil- to fry

Method

Mince the cabbage finely in the food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, chop it very fine. Add in all the other ingredients one by one, except the sesame seeds and coriander and mix well. Get the mixture out in a big bowl and add in the sesame seeds and the coriander. Mix well either in the food processor or in a big bowl by hand. Knead lightly to mix well. Remember not to leave it standing for a long time as the cabbage will keep leaving water. Take the dough shaped into logs and steam in a steamer, Or flatten it out in a pre-greased plate and microwave covered, or then shape like logs anyway and microwave for 8-10 minutes. One way to figure out that the mixture has cooked is by looking at the sides, where you will find a distinct gap, where the cabbage mixture has shrunk. When cool, cut into discs or squares shapes. Heat oil in a pan. When hot, shallow fry the wadi on both sides till golden brown and serve hot. Try it! You will love it.
