1. Take a wide cooking vessel, add water and heat it. When water is boiling, add chopped cabbage and cook them for 2-3 minutes (be sure that the cabbage should not turn soft, it should be crisp).
2. Now drain all the cabbage from water in to a mixing bowl, add ginger garlic paste, rice flour, corn flour, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chilly powder, food color, salt and mix well (sprinkle some water if required).
3. Combine all the contents so that the chopped cabbage will be coated with batter.
4. Take a wide kadai, heat oil until right temperature is attained.
5. Now drop the batter in oil as small fritters and fry them in oil until they turn to nice golden red. Its a great side dish for sambhar and rasam.

TIP: The batter should be tight enough. If more water is added, it becomes loose and cabbage will not be coated properly with batter.
