Divide the cabbage into four equal parts. Take 1 part and finely chop it. Wash, drain well, and set aside. Chop the dill and add it to the chopped cabbage. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt on the cabbage and dill mixture and let it sit for a while.
Grate the carrots and set them aside. The cabbage and dill mixture will become slightly watery. Squeeze out this excess water with your hands. Then add the grated carrots on top of the cabbage and dill mixture. Add the egg and all the seasonings. Finally, add the flour and knead well. After kneading thoroughly, break off meatball-sized pieces with your hands and shape them.
Preheat a deep frying pan while shaping the meatballs. Add sunflower oil to the heated pan and let the oil heat well. Dip each meatball in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, carefully place them in the hot oil.
Take care not to move the meatballs too much, especially in the early stages of frying, to prevent them from falling apart. Fry the meatballs until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Enjoy your delicious fried cabbage meatballs!
