How To Make Fried Ochro

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.

Dip each slice of okra into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the okra slices in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Carefully add the coated okra slices to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry the okra for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Remove the fried okra with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Repeat the frying process with the remaining okra slices.

Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
