I have never tasted okra. Maybe I will try some this way. Battering is the easiest thing ever. Mix up your batter. If you get the Drakes fry mix we use half a bag at a time, add the correct water and stir. Plop all the veggies or onion rings, whatever in the batter bowl. We mostly use peanut oil. Only takes a minute maybe two for veggies.
Fried okra is great. Don’t fry the whole okra, just thick slices of them.
Also okras are very nice pickled.
Stewed okra with tomatoes are just okay. I’ll eat them but they aren’t as great as prepared other ways.
