I didn't have the mustard seeds, don't know where they went, but I used the paprika and no matter about reversing the egg and cornmeal because I skipped eggs altogether.

Tracy is right and I was wrong. She dips them in the egg first and then the cornmeal. Oops, I made a mistake with my mom-in-laws recipe! Tracy is right and I was wrong.

Cut into about 1/2-inch slices. Dip them in a thin egg/milk wash (about one egg in 1/4-1/2 cup of milk) then into cornmeal and flour (again about 1 cup flour to one cup cornmeal). Then pan fry or deep fry. This is a great Southern tradition. I must say that we like ours with morn cornmeal and less flour though-about a cup of cornmeal with maybe 1/2 cup of flour mixed in.

That sounds amazing. I do have mustard seeds. I think I will be brave and try it. I have the turmeric, too. The Arabic culture uses turmeric frequently, also. Thanks! Wow, Sangeeta!

Never slimy. Here is how my mother-in-law makes it: Wash, cut and dry the okra. Dip it in cornmeal and seasoning, then in egg and fry it(not too much oil). I am sure you can do something else other than the egg. Here is how I make it: heat some oil, add mustard seeds and heat them till they pop (mustard seeds are very common in Indian cooking), add chopped onions and cook till translucent, then add the okra, some turmeric and salt. Cook on high for 5 min, stirring and then on low for 15-20 minutes (till done). Add paprika towards the end, if desired. I often skip the onions, I actually do not think that they are necessary. I love the flavor of mustard seeds, it adds a nutty kind of flavor. And I am a believer in the health-value of turmeric (used a lot in my culture as well!
