Ratings & Reviews:
I didn't have the time to use the water method, but the cornmeal works great! Also added some Cajun spices to the cornmeal and salt. Mmmm...Southern @ it's best!

Thanks for this recipe! We didn't have cornmeal so I had to use flour. Really delicious.

Didn't bother covering the okra with water. Just sliced, seasoned, rolled in cornmeal and fried. Delicious and crunchy.
