Wash the okra thoroughly and trim the ends. Slice the okra into 1/2-inch pieces.

Prepare the Okra

In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

Make the Batter

Dip the sliced okra into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal-flour mixture until well coated.

Coat the Okra

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Fry the coated okra in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
