Good ... but, people, keep in mind: This is fried okra, NOT batter-dipped okra. Some of the breading WILL fall off when you are cooking it ... that is part of the dish, however, the "crunchies" ... handle gently when frying, and it will come out yummy ... thanks for the recipe!

These were pretty good, but definitely needed more flavor in the breading. I would probably double the seasonings used in the breading, maybe even more.

This is very good with a few changes in my opinion. I did 1/2 flour 1/2 cornmeal. Added a little milk to the egg and a tablespoon of honey as well. I also did a little extra s&p and added some creole seasoning. Turned out great! Great base recipe though!

I'd like to give this a better rating, but as written it just wasn't that good. The breading fell off and the okra wasn't that crunchy. The third batch I made, I used 1/2 cup milk and let the okra sit and absorb it for about an hour. Then dredged it in cornmeal mixed with a bit of zataran's seasoning....much better!!!

I opted to used a cajun fish seasoning mix to cover the okra- it gave the okra a wonderful spicy kick :)

I love fried okra, but I was a little disappointed with this recipe. I did everything it said to do, but all the breading came off and it didn't get cooked all the way thru. I don't think 1/2 c. was enough oil. I would suggest NOT mixing frequently and just heating up enough oil to deep fat fry instead.

I used Jiffy (didn't have corn meal). Myself and my husband really liked it but with Jiffy it is a little sweet.

Loved it! Fried okra is supposed to have a gritty texture (which this did), but I did add about 1/4 cup of flour. I also added way more salt and especially pepper and onion powder, as I love flavor. I added a small amount of milk to the egg (as others mentioned) and let the thawed frozen okra soak. I then added the okra to the dry mixture and added to the hot oil with a slotted spoon. These were great in ketsup like we have at Cracker Barrel.

I rated this 4 stars because it was just okay. I followed the instructions and other reviewers by using pre-mixed cornmeal, four, & salt mixture. The okra tended to stick together in clumps. I think next time I will stick to cooking the pre-breaded frozen okra.

This was really good! I also used half flour and the texture was great. We liked it almost as much as the fried okra at Sonny's BBQ..dipped in ranch dressing, YUM!

this was the best! I used frozen okra thawed and I also used an egg/milk mixture let the okra sit for a while in the egg like it says. I added more salt then what it said to use and i also added some season salt to my cornmeal/flour mixture because it was to bland for me. After all the cooking was done the okra didn't last long. will definitely be keeping this in my recipe box and making again! thanks

Fried okra is the best. I am from the south, and it was a staple for Sunday dinner in the summer. There wasn't any nice looking fresh okra available, so I used frozen. I too used half cornmeal and half flour, and used a buttermilk/egg mixture. I dusted the okra in flour prior to putting it in the egg mixture. This ensured that the coating would stick. I didn't add any extra seasonings, as simple is best for this dish. This isn't the healthiest way to eat okra, but as an occasional treat, it is fine.

I left out the salt, and fried the okra in my deep fryer on 360 degrees. Tastes just like I would get in a restaurant. I loved it, and will make again. Thanks for the recipe.

Not a favorite in my house. I used frozen okra (thawed), only because the okra in the produce section looked terrible. Mixed 1/2 cornmeal and 1/2 flour and the texture was still too gritty for me. Also added garlic powder and cayenne pepper but it just wasn't enough for us.

I love fried okra, but coating it in cornmeal made it so gritty and crunchy I couldn't eat it plain. I had to put a sauce (ketsup) on it just so I could swallow it. Next time I'm going to use corn flour and hope that does the trick.
