Fried Okra With Scallion Dip

Fried Okra With Scallion Dip is my special contribution for two food blog events ...... Deep Freeze Summer Challenge and Weekend Cookbook Challenge - cornmeal.







Chris of Mele Cotte....…. is conducting an event with a theme "Deep Freeze Summer Challenge", I have used my frozen okra to make this dish.

In the same way....Sara of Weekend Cookbook Challenge....…. is having a event which has the theme cornmeal. I have used cornmeal fro frying okra...

Basically fried okra is a crunchy deep fried dish... It's one of the best way to eat okra.......This is one of my families favorite dish too.....

I dip the cut okra into buttermilk and then dredge them in a cornmeal mixture and then deep fry them in vegetable oil. I serve always serve this some dipping sauce, some time i make a creamy marinara sauce or red pepper sauce. But this time i have made scallion dip sauce. It is tasting really YUMMY!. I grind the scallion and Serrano green pepper into a smooth paste and mix mayonnaise with it.

Ingredients :




Fried Okra:

Okra Sliced in 1/2-inch thick - 2 Pounds
All-purpose flour - 1 cup
Cornmeal - 1/2 cup
Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
Dried Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilly powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt and pepper as required
Buttermilk - 1/2 cup
Vegetable Oil, for deep frying

Scallion Dip:

Scallions - few sprigs
Mayonnaise - 1 cup
Green Serrano pepper - 1
Salt and pepper as required

Procedure :


1. Thaw the okra and pad it dry with paper towels.

2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet about medium low.

3. In the meanwhile, combine cornmeal, flour, Garlic powder, Dried Oregano, Red chilly powder Salt and pepper in a medium bowl. And buttermilk in another bowl.

4. Dip okra in buttermilk and then dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat well.

5. Carefully add okra to the hot oil, in batches as needed, and cook until golden brown.



6. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and then serve it with a dipping sauce.



7. For the scallion dip, grind the scallions and Serrano pepper in a food processor and then mix it with Mayonnaise and season it with salt and pepper.
