My family loves these fritters with Chili, Red beans and rice, or just as a snack with sour cream. They eat them up as fast as I can fry them..lol! Sometimes I make them spicier,add fresh corn, cayenne pepper, etc... just play with the recipe..you can't go wrong.. Enjoy...:)) My Photos

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c yellow corn meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 1/2 c water
8 - 10 oz okra, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 large jalapeno, diced small
3 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp onion, diced small
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tsp sea salt
red pepper flakes ( optional )
1/4 c vegetable oil, plus more as frying

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • 2. Combine the egg and water in another bowl.
  • 3. Pour the water and egg into the cornmeal, stir until smooth.
  • 4. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix till well distributed. ( Batter should be thick, wet, not dry.)
  • 5. In a skillet, ( I use my cast iron ) heat oil on medium. For larger fritters, measure out about 1/4 cup of batter. Pour into the hot oil. Fry the cakes until the bottoms are brown and bubbles form on the tops and edges. About 3 minutes on each side. ( Add more oil as needed as you fry your fritters )
  • 6. Drain on paper towels.
  • 7. Serve with your favorite condiments. They go well with sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!!!

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I really enjoyed these fritters. They were a great way to use up some extra okra that I had.

These fritters were the perfect side dish for my fried chicken. They were crispy, flavorful, and addictive.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fritters turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These fritters were a little too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I had a hard time getting the batter to stick to the okra. I ended up having to use a lot more flour than the recipe called for.

These fritters were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of okra, but these fritters were surprisingly good! The batter was light and fluffy, and the okra was cooked perfectly.

These okra fritters were a hit at my last party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious savory flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
