This is a great recipe! The okra is crispy and flavorful, and the tomatoes and onions add a delicious sweetness. I served it with rice and black-eyed peas, and it was a perfect meal.

OMG, I'm so excited I found this recipe! I love fried okra, but usually I just dredge it in cornmeal and fry it. This recipe takes it to a whole new level with the tomatoes, onions, and spices. I can't wait to try it!
