   • In a shallow bowl, mix together the self-rising flour, cornmeal, sugar, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs until well combined. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Tomatoes:

   • Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
   • Dampen the tomato slices with soymilk, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.

3. Coat the Tomatoes:

   • Dip each tomato slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated on both sides.

4. Heat the Oil:

   • Heat oil in a heavy, nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.

5. Fry the Tomatoes:

   • Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the pan.
   • Fry the tomatoes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
   • Use a spatula to carefully flip the tomatoes once or twice during cooking to ensure even browning.

6. Serve:

   • Once the tomatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving platter.
   • Sprinkle the fried green tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Prepare the Gravy:

   • In the same pan used for frying, add any remaining bits of browned flour from the bottom.
   • Pour in 1/2 cup of soymilk and cook, stirring constantly, until a thick gravy forms.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Pour the gravy over the fried green tomatoes just before serving.
   • Serve the tomatoes hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauce or as a delightful side dish.
