Chop ½ cabbage into small pieces. Place in a large pot of boiling water and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Finely chop 1 onion.
In a blender, combine the cooked cabbage, 3 eggs, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Add the chopped onion, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 3 tablespoons flour to the cabbage mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Form the cabbage mixture into small patties and fry them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a bowl, mix 1 cup yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, salt, and pepper to taste.
Serve the cabbage patties hot with the yogurt garlic sauce on the side.
