I don't live down South anymore, but this recipe brings back the memories of of my grandmother's fried okra! Thanks for a great recipe.

Fried okra is a favorite of ours and we grow more than enough in our garden! We love it just dredged in cornmeal, but it is even better when fried up with diced potatoes. My girls eat it like candy!

I've never fried okra before, and this came out delicious. The only modification I made was using 1/2 flour, 1/2 cornmeal. Yummy!

This was the first time I fried okra. This recipe made it turn out perfect. Nice and crispy, and not greasy. Thanks.

i have tried before to fry okra and by the time you got your hands in the egg and flour, there wasn't much left on the okra. i used the suggestion from one of the reviews and used milk, then did half and half flour and meal. little skeptical because the in laws were having dinner with us. i made a whole lot and i think we all would have eaten more had it been there. thanks

Quick and easy!! I was out of cornmeal, so I used 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs in its place. Plus I added a little bit of grated parmesan cheese, it was very good and I did not notice a difference.

This is the first year that I have grown okra in my garden, so of course a good "fried okra recipe" was a must. I was not disappointed! Though simple, this recipe was delicious, even better than what I have had in restaurants (I am sure the freshness makes a difference). I have a piece of advice for any using freshly grown okra: pick it when it is a little smaller size than it can get, as it is more tender. Slices from larger okra can be a bit tough, and though they still taste fine fried, I didn't enjoy them quite as much. Soaking in the egg and coating with the basic cornmeal mixture was enough complexity for me - the taste was superb. (And my 3-year-old non vegetable eater loves it also!)

Oh my goodness! This is as good as you can get in any restaurant. I was a little worried because the egg coupled with the okra's natural "stickiness" made sort of an ooey-gooey mess when I tried to roll them in the cornmeal mixture. But once they went into the oil, they fried up perfectly and were deelish! In fact, I'm making them again tonight! Thanks.

This was good,I'm not a huge fan of cornmeal though,it's too gritty,I found that a combo of 3/4 flour and a 1/4 cup cornmeal works just fine,also I soak mine in milk instead of egg,the eggs much to thick and the okra puts off its own thickness in the milk,after its done soaking the milk mixture's as thick as an egg....with a garden full of okra,I've fried my fair share this summer

Although not very healthy, (I just keep telling myself it's a green vegetable, so it IS healthy! lol) this recipe is definately simple southern cooking at its best. I think next time I'll not slice my okra quite so thinly so I can taste more okra flavor instead of mostly oil. My grandma always cooked summer squashes (yellow or zucchini) and mushrooms this way and they are so good also.

I remember my mother making fried okra when I was a child so when I recently discovered my local grocery store had some okra for sale I decided I had to find a recipe. Just like my momma used to make. :-)

I've been eating fried okra for 30 years, and this is better than my Mom's. My family loved it. I will cook my okra this way from now on. I am sending my Mom this recipe in hopes that she'll try it too. :)
