Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 g okra cleaned and washed (fresh or frozen)

For the batter:

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 can of club soda (sparkling water) 250 ml/ 8 ½ oz
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp. garlic grated
  • salt
  • pepper

For frying:

  • sunflower oil

For serving:

  • yogurt spearmint dip

Instructions
 

  • Cut each okra into 3.

For the batter:

  • Place the flour and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

For frying:

  • Heat a pan and pour in sunflower oil and let it heat up well.
  • Take a few okra at a time, shake off excess batter, place them in the pan, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they become crispy and golden.
  • As soon as the okra turns golden brown, place them on an absorbent paper to drain and serve with the spearmint yogurt dip or tzatziki.

Notes

We can use both fresh and frozen okra. It is better to have them cut into small pieces, so that they are crispier.
