FRIED OKRA in 3 minutes - Learn how to FRY OKRA Recipe Demonstation

Perfectly FRIED OKRA to kick off the Fall Season!! Deronda demonstrates her original homemade FRIED OKRA recipe!! Tender OKRA slices with a golden crunch coating!! ADDICTIVE!! Never disappoints!! Click on SHOW MORE below for full recipe...
16- ounce package of fresh Okra Pods, rinsed, dried, and slices into 1/4" to 1/2" pieces. Set aside.
1-1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup whole buttermilk or milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
Vegetable oil for frying (Canola or Peanut oil maybe used)
1. In a medium mixing bowl; add buttermilk, egg & water. Whisk until well blended. Set aside.
2. Add cornmeal, flour, salt, & pepper to a 1-gallon plastic bag. Shake until dry ingredients are well blended. Set aside.
3. Submerge sliced Okra into buttermilk mixture. Soak for 5 minutes.
4. With slotted spoon remove 8-10 slices of okra, at a time, until well drain. Add okra pieces into cornmeal mixture. Shake until okra is well coated. Transfer okra to cooling rack. Continue until all the okra is coated.
5. In a 12"-skillet, over medium-heat, add vegetable oil until 1/2" deep. Heat oil to 375 degrees F. (If OKRA is frying too fast, remove your skillet off the heat & reduce heat to medium-low). An electric skillet or deep-fryer maybe used. Add 1 piece of coated okra to oil. If oil sizzles around the edges of okra continue to add okra. Be sure not to over crowd your okra. Fry okra until golden in color.
6. Drain fried Okra on paper towels.
7. Serve warm. Add your favorite dip(s), if you wish!!
TIPS: Keep FRIED OKRA warm in an 175 degrees F. oven for up to 30 minutes.

I just bought a big bag of okra. And I'm going to cook it for dinner tonight, just like in this video. That okra came out looking beautiful. And dip them in ranch sauce 😋 YUUUUMYYYY!!!!! This will be my first time cooking fried okra.

[@arzelshiki5233]

Thanks for sharing! You are so organized and clean and ready for video shooting. Having all ingredients pre measure and ready to go. That's a plus for me. You get 💯

[@veenaveto]

My husband dislikes vegetables, and I love them, he grew me a garden and my okra is ready to cook, so I looked up a good recipe and found this one, Im gonna try it. It looks so good I bet my husband will start liking okra..(I liked how crunchy it sounded) yummy

[@cindyhewatt3406]

I made this with freshly picked okra from our garden for dinner tonight and it was amazing, both husband and son loved it, will definitely make it again, thank you for this fantastic recipe!

[@Foods101withDeronda]

Wonderful!

[@iamHis888Heismine]

Your recipe turns out a light and crispy fried okra. SO GOOD! Thank you!

[@sheralzadepalmer7444]

This appears to be the best recipe I’ve seen...I was given some fresh okra and wanted to fry it.. Thx!

[@Foods101withDeronda]

AWESOME and you are so welcome! ENJOY your FRIED OKRA!!

[@anagennao]

I've got over a dozen okra plants and need to get all this okra used up. Really easy to grow, and seems to do well in sandy soil... beautiful flowers as well!

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Those look great!!! The coating is perfect!!

[@Foods101withDeronda]

Thanks!! They are!

[@hisomeonetrackingmuch1309]

I’m learning so much about southern cooking from your wonderful videos! One thing I’ve learned, I definitely don’t have enough slotted spoons in my collection. Spiders & buttermilk going on the list. So much deliciousness!

[@Foods101withDeronda]

That is awesome!

[@sweetboo1022]

If you're like me and you only use a little buttermilk at a time you can either get some powdered buttermilk which stores nicely in the fridge or you can mix a little lemon juice (or vinegar) in regular milk and it gives the same properties as buttermilk.

[@everettb84]

First time ever making okra I don’t like it but my husband loves okra! Hopefully he’ll love this! Thanks a bunch. I’ll update ya on how he likes it!

[@catherinemuke986]

I'm definitely will try this when harvesting my okra. I'm from Canada and I d' never heard about okras. Ordered okra (Clemson variety) seeds more adapted to our cold climate. When I saw what it was afterward, I mean, the slime part, I almost fainted... lol! But I'm ready to try it because it's an healthy food and I'm sure it taste good. Thank's for the recipie.

[@carlgomm9699]

I live in FL, can grow okra year-round, I use a square RubberMaid for the dry ingredients, you can tumble the okra efficiently, also cardboard boxes with paper towels on top make a nice way to drain these goodies, however your batter is by far better than mine!! Carl Avon Park FL

[@projectg408]

Wooow. I NEED to try and make these. I’m originally from the south but I’ve lived in California now for 12 years. I don’t think I’ve had some yummy fried okra since I got here!
