Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or garlic powder to the flour mixture. If you're looking for a healthier option, try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. You can also substitute the okra with zucchini or bell peppers. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the vegetables to ensure they fry properly and become crispy.
