1 pound of fresh okra washed and cut into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.

To the okra add 2 Tablespoons of milk and stir.

Add 1/2 cup corn meal, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon garlic. Stir and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a wide flat bottom pan. Add okra cook on medium high heat. Stirring every few minutes until golden brown with crunchy bits.
 
Oooh! Not usually an okra fan, but this looks mighty good, ppo!

Fried okra is not like okra cooked other ways. It is not "slimy" at all. Fried okra and mashed potatoes are my "must have" sides for chicken fried steak. All dressed with a generous amount of white gravy.
