I adore these little baked spicy cabbage fritters. They come together quickly and go from cutting board, bowl to oven-safe skillet in 15 minutes. Of course, I adorn these with a healthy dose of Indian spices, but you can use whatever spice blend you like
These baked spicy cabbage fritters beg for a generous portion of vibrant, silky sauce to go along with them. I usually go for a makhani gravy or a pureed chimichurri.
As for substitutions, you can use all-purpose flour instead of chickpea and almond flour. The almond flour gives some nuttiness and extra body, but these still taste wonderful without it.

Heavenly Baked Spicy Cabbage Fritters
You'll love making these delicious baked spicy cabbage fritters. They're so tasty and easy to make–you'll find yourself cooking this regularly.
Ingredients
Fritters Ingredients
½ head cabbage - shredded finely
¼ cup ground chicken (minced chicken) - pre-cooked
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup chickpea flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch baking soda
Spice Blend Ingredients
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon ginger - ground
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In your mixing bowl, massage the salt into the shredded cabbage for 2 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes, letting the salt draw out moisture.
- Add in the rest of your ingredients and mix thoroughly. If the mix is dry, add water one tablespoon at a time. The mixture’s consistency should be as thick as hummus or oatmeal to hold its shape.
- Roll the batter into loose little cakes or flattened out balls, and place on a well-greased oven-safe skillet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fritters are crispy and golden as you like.
- Serve with chimichurri or a buttery tomato sauce.
