Oh, wow! The crispy batter on your okra looks amazing! I can see why people were wanting to eat this right out of the pan :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet words of condolence. We had a good time celebrating my aunt's life.
I have used corn flour for batter before, but it sure did not turn out like yours. Perhaps it is the coconut milk?! Anyhow these do look extra crispy and tasty, I am going to keep your flavorful batter recipe so I can enjoy. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThey are so crispy and my husband loves these. I can see how your family ate them so quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow, fried okra looks gorgeous! yummy.

ReplyDeleteLovely and crispy, never made okras this way.But I like this crispy version of yours.Nice side dish or appetizers as you said :)
ReplyDeleteI love okra in almost any preparation, and fried is delicious. Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteMy husband & I love fried okra but my daughters don't, so I seldom make it. I'll try it using your recipe...the addition of coconut milk in the batter might make them reconsider. :)
