Description
Cornmeal (you can also use fine polenta) gives a crunchy coating to deep-fried food. Use young okra for the best result.
Method
Step 1 of 4
In a bowl, combine the flour with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp salt, and set aside. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl. In a third bowl, mix the polenta with the remaining smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Step 2 of 4
Toss the okra in the flour mixture, dip each briefly in the eggs, then coat well in the polenta mixture.
Step 3 of 4
Heat the oil to 190°C in a large, heavy-based saucepan or deep-fat fryer, as shown in the technique. Fry the okra, in batches, in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4 of 4
Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them cool on a wire rack while you fry the remaining batches. Serve with cider vinegar as a dip for tangy twist.
