Cook Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

1 cup zucchini, grated (squeeze excess moisture)

1 cup cabbage, finely shredded

2 large eggs

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green chili (optional), finely chopped

2 tbsp grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella – optional)

2 tbsp chickpea flour or all-purpose flour (for binding)

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic minced

1 tbsp oil or melted butter (optional, for flavor)

Spray oil for air fryer

Instructions:

Prep the Vegetables (5 mins)

Grate zucchini and squeeze out water using a muslin cloth or paper towel.

Shred cabbage finely and set aside.

Mix zucchini, cabbage, chopped onion, chili, and garlic in a bowl.

Mix the Batter (3 mins)

Add eggs, flour, cheese (if using), turmeric, black pepper, and salt.

Mix until you get a thick, spoonable batter.

Preheat Air Fryer (2 mins)

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2 minutes.

Cook in Air Fryer (15 mins)

Grease a small air fryer-safe pan or line with parchment paper.

Pour the mixture into the pan and flatten it evenly (like a crustless quiche).

Spray the top with oil for a crispier finish.

Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until golden and firm.

Optionally, flip halfway if your air fryer allows it, for even browning.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with yogurt dip, chutney, or ketchup.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice or garnish with fresh herbs.

Tips:

You can shape them as patties or mini muffins for faster cooking (10–12 minutes).

Add chopped spinach, grated carrot, or bell pepper for variation.

Using cheese makes it more filling and tasty but can be skipped for a lighter version.
