I love okra, but I was not a fan of these fritters. The batter was too heavy and the okra was not cooked through. I would not recommend this recipe.

These okra fritters were okay. The batter was a bit bland, but the okra was cooked well. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

These okra fritters were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time. The flavor was good, but I would also add a bit more seasoning to the batter.

I love okra, and these fritters were a great way to enjoy it. The batter was light and fluffy, and the okra was cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of dipping sauce and they were a hit with my family.

These okra fritters were a great way to use up some okra that I had on hand. They were easy to make and they turned out great. I will definitely be making them again.

I've made these okra fritters several times and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they are always crispy and delicious. I love to serve them with a side of ranch dressing.

These okra fritters were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The batter was flavorful and the okra cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
