After washing and draining the okra, cut it crosswise into 1inch slices.
Beat 3 eggs with a few drops of water in a bowl. Pour some cracker meal
into a second bowl. Dredge the cut or sliced up okra first in the cracker meal, then
coat with the beaten egg. Drain well and coat with cracker meal. The okra
is then ready for frying.
