I grabbed this recipe out of a cookbook I got at the library ( you should really go there sometime) called the best of Georgia Farms Cookbook and Tour book. It has recipes from hundreds of different people throughout the state of Georgia. It is a great source for different recipes for seasonal items. I bet your state has one too, you should go to the library and flip through it.
1 lb fresh okra or 1 (18 ounce) bag frozen cut okra
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch garlic powder (potional)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
oil (for frying)
How to make it :
Combine cut okra, onion, salt, pepper, water and egg. Mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, cornmeal and garlic powder. Add to okra mixture, stirring well. Drop about 1/4 cup portions into about 1/2″ hot oil. Fry over medium heat until well browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels
