Crispy Okra Patties Recipe: A Southern Delight

Ingredients

• 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 pound okra, finely chopped
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 egg egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

1. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine okra, onion, water, egg, salt, and pepper thoroughly. Separately, mix flour, cornmeal, and baking powder in a small bowl, then add this mixture to the okra mixture.
3. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the okra batter into the hot oil in batches. Fry each side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fried patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue frying until all the okra batter is used.
