  • Deep fry the cabbage mixture in hot oil. The oil will be bubbly since there will be water content. Remove from fire once the cabbage pakodas are brown and crispy.
  • Next, deep fry the mushroom till they are brown and done. Keep the mushroom pakodas aside.
  • Now grind together all the ingredients listed under Masala Paste: garlic cloves, tomato, fennel seed powder, pepper powder and mint leaves. Grind to a smooth paste and keep aside.

For Preparing Gravy:

  • In same pan add some more oil if required and add chopped onion.
  • Saute onion well and add the spice powders: kashmiri red chilly powder and garam masala. Stir well and add the previously ground masala paste. Saute well till oil appears on top.
  • Now dissolve corn flour in 1 cup water and add to the sauteed mixture. Add juice of 1 lemon, required salt and bring to boil.
  • Next, add both fried mushroom and cabbage pakodas to the boiling mixture. Smash the pakodas with a spatula.
