Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Clean and trim tip and stem from 1/2 kg okra. Cut them into 1/2″ thick rounds.
Add the okra into a mix of 2 cups buttermilk whisked with one egg. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.
Combine one cup all purpose flour and one cup cornmeal with seasonings : salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Remove a batch of okra from the buttermilk with a slotted spoon so that excess liquid drains off and dredge it in the flour mix.
Deep fry in batches. Drain in paper towels. Serve as a side dish or a snack.
