Hubby won&#8217;t touch okra with a 20 foot pole, but the kids and I LOVE it.  You can follow the instructions precisely (the part about letting it sit for 10 minutes is important) to make individually-breaded okra chunks, or you can just mix all of the ingredients together and form them into fritters.  You may need to add a little extra buttermilk, flour. or cornmeal to get the right consistency for them to hold together  Before frying, I usually roll them in a little extra cornmeal after they&#8217;re formed into croquettes.  Don&#8217;t make them too big or the outside will get too browned before the inside is cooked all the way through.
