For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cornmeal. Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or a tangy yogurt dip. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
