First, get a head of cabbage and cut it in half.
Chop each half of the cabbage finely and put the shredded cabbage into a pot.
Put the pot of cabbage on a stove over high heat and add four glasses of water.
Boil the cabbage for ten minutes while occasionally stirring the cabbage. Ensure not to boil the cabbage for too long.
Drain the cabbage and let it cool. Set aside.
Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and saute onion and garlic. After, remove the onion and garlic mixture and set aside.
Get the drained cabbage and place it in a bowl. Make a well in the middle.
Pour three raw eggs into the well and add the sauteed onions and garlic.
Next, add four tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of ground red pepper, and a teaspoon of ground back pepper into the egg and flour mixture.
Mix the cabbage together. Ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
When the cabbage mixture is done, set it aside. Put some oil in a pan and put over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, take one spoon of the cabbage mixture and put it on the pan.
Continue scooping the mixture into the pan, making separate cabbage patties.
Fry each cabbage pattie and flip over when brown.
When both sides of the patties are brown, remove them from the pan and set the cabbage patties aside.
To make a sauce for the cabbage patties, mix three tablespoons of yogurt, two sprigs of dill, and one grated cucumber together. Sprinkle some red pepper on top.
Serve the cabbage patties with the yogurt mixture, and enjoy!
