Ingredients

2 C okra, in 1/4-1/2 inch slices

1 C buttermilk

1 egg

2 T Louisiana hot sauce

1/2 C panko (Japanese bread crumbs)

1 C flour

1 T paprika

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Canola oil, for frying

Directions

In a bowl, whisk the egg into the buttermilk and hot sauce.

Add the okra, and let is soak for 20-30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together the panko, flour, paprika, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of canola oil. When the oil is hot, remove okra from the buttermilk with a slotted spoon.

Toss them in the panko mixture, then add them to the skillet. You may have to fry in batches - be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or the temperature of the oil will drop, making the okra greasy. The okra should fry for about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the skillet when they okra have taken on a light golden-brown color. Drain on a wire rack with paper towels underneath.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve with tomato and onion chutney.

OK, so I'm from California and we don't eat a lot of okra, but I discovered I like it and this looks wonderful! I would think that this would work great with small zucchini as well? 5 from me!

Nice. I like to cut my Okra into slices about 1/4 inch thick. I think either way will work. I also us Panko. JJ
