Finely shred the cabbage to make 4 cups approximately. Blanch the shredded cabbage in boiling water for 5 minutes. The cabbage should be almost cooked but still retain a crunch.
After 5 minutes, rinse the cabbage under cold water and put in a colander to let the water drain out. Then wrap the cabbage in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Put the dried cabbage in a large bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly. The mixture will be dry at this point.
Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and incorporate it. Add only that much water until you get a sticky dough. Make small round balls of 1 inch diameter and set aside.
Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan. Deep fry the cabbage fritters on medium heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes on medium heat. Take them out and place on a plate lined with absorbent kitchen towel to soak excess oil.
Serve the crispy & crunchy cabbage fritters hot with hot and spicy ketchup! Enjoy!
