About this Recipe
A croquette is a type of dumpling made of a thick binder and a filling that is breaded and deep-fried; it is served as a side dish, snack, or fast food all over the world. A thick bechamel or brown sauce, mashed potatoes, wheat flour, or wheat bread are commonly used as binders.
The croquette originated in France, and it was in 1898 that Monsieur Escoffier, the founder of classical French cuisine, began to write down the recipe with the assistance of Monsieur Philias Gilbert. The traditional formulation and procedures were still in place.

Onion:
Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.
Cabbage :
Cabbage can have a mildly bitter flavour. Cooking removes the bitterness, but not all recipes call for it. If your cabbage tastes bitter and you intend to serve it raw or in a salad, such as coleslaw, remove the bitterness before serving.
Breadcrumbs :
Dry breadcrumbs are commonly used as a topping for gratins, casseroles, and other similar dishes to add a crunchy textural dimension. Fresh breadcrumbs are an excellent binding agent, which is why they are frequently used in meatloaf and stuffing recipes.
