Yeah when frying one has to be careful with spices as the oil will scorch the seasoning

I use flour and cornmeal 50/50. I like it really crispy.

Cornmeal? I thought cornmeal ensures the marinade wont split. I will try it with cornflour.
I use corn flour to deep fry bitter gourd/cauliflower florets/fish,etc... This recipe I use gramflour. Sometimea a tsp of rice flour.
Ps: Randall, do u have any personal planet in Taurus?Sun or Moon? : D

Nah, I just have a mom who can cook anything. The flour and cornmeal mixed together makes for a very tasty coating that crisps nicely. I even like to burn it some. Not a fan of slimy okra.

oh not at all, spices and herbs have oils in them that usually have a lower smoke point then the oil one is cooking them in

IE, careful or they will burn
