Not exactly identical to restaurants' okra, but it tastes delicious. I used 3 eggs and a bit of milk for a pound of frozen okra. I coated the bottom of a cast-iron pan with oil and fried them in 3 batches. Serve them right away because they get cold quickly!

This is my first time ever even eating okra, and I must say that it was not disappointing. The only alterations I made were adding some paprika, and frying in sunflower oil instead of vegetable oil. Will definitely make again!

I did 2/3 cornmeal and 1/3 flour just for my preference. This turned out great - except I had to add extra salt to it at the end. Then it was perfect! But again that is just my personal taste!

I live in Mn so I have never made this before, and only had it like two times in my life in restaurants but I remember I loved it. I got a hold of some okra found this recipe and tried it. I loved it! I read the reviews and did half egg, half milk, and half flour, half cornmeal absolutely wonderful thanks for sharing

I loved this! My boyfriend grew up in Texas and planted some okra in our garden. I'd never had it before and he asked me to make it for him. I read this recipe as a guide and used half flour and half fine bread crumbs since I didn't have any cornmeal here. It was wonderful! I'm looking forward to trying it with the cornmeal next time I get a good batch of okra from my garden. Thank you.

Lovely recipe, adds more flavor than breading in simple corn meal and frying. I added about a teaspoon of Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to a small pack of corn muffin mix and soaked the okra like directed. Everything came out absolutely delicious. And this was my first time! I'm 25 and not very good at frying at all, so I was pretty worried...xD Nice, easy recipe. Highly customizable, which is part of the joy of cooking!
