Batata (potato) Cutlets

The Lord’s commands to His people are not arbitrary appointments; but that, so far as they are conscientiously complied with, they have an evident tendency and suitableness to promote our own advantage. He requires us to acknowledge Him…for our own sakes; not because He has need of our poor services, but because we have need of His blessing, and without the influence of His grace (which is promised to all who seek it) are sure to be unhappy in ourselves and in all our connections.

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the potatoes in their skins. Cool, peel and mash them. Lightly
crush the cashews with a rolling pin. Heat the oil over a medium heat
and add the mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to pop, add the  cumin
seeds and allow the seeds to crackle in the hot oil for a few  seconds.
Add the onions, green chillies and garlic. Stir and fry until the
onions are a pale golden colour. Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder,
salt and coriander leaves. Remove from the heat.  Add the mashed
potato, cashews and lime juice to the onion mixture  and mix
thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 8 equal-sized portions  and shape
into flat oval shaped cutlets. Dust each cutlet in flour,  then dip in
beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs.  Heat a little oil in a frying pan
over a medium heat. You can also  use an electric deep fat fryer if you
wish. Fry the cutlets for about  5-7 minutes until golden brown and
drain on absorbent paper. Serve  with a crisp salad for a light lunch
or supper or as a starter with  brinjal pickle.  Unsuitable for
freezing.  DISCLAIMERÂ© Copyright 1996 - SelecTV Cable Limited. All

One might think that shame would now drive us to our task (of missions). Do the commands of our Lord mean so little to us? Are we indifferent to Him? Or, if not shame, pity on those who have not heard. Are we unconcerned at the cries of the heathen? Can we weep at television drama and sit dry-eyed before the needs of the lost? Such questions shame us, yet I know that shame will not move us as we ought to be moved. We will need a larger motive than our own humiliation to finish the task. Even the spiritual poverty of the pagan will not do it. We must have a grander vision...a new vision of God. And that vision is majestic, glorious.
