How to Make Fried Okra Cajun Style With Remoulade Sauce

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately.
  3. Wash and trim 1 lb fresh okra. Lightly dredge each okra piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip into 1 beaten egg, then back into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Carefully place okra in the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the fried okra with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Season immediately with salt to taste.
  7. Serve hot with remoulade sauce (recipe #87124).
