God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The will of natural man is the worst part about him. The worst thing he has, the greatest enemy he has, is his own heart and will. It is the corrupt will of a man that keeps him under the power of his sins, and keeps him off the power of an ordinance that would procure his everlasting good. I speak it the rather to dash that dream of wicked men, when they do ill, and speak ill, yet (say they), “my heart is good.” No, truly, if thy life be naught, thy heart is worse. It is the worst thing thou hast about thee… The deceitfulness of the heart is above all; the masterfulness of the heart is beyond all that we can conceive. A man may discern a man’s life, “but the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.” The will of man is uncontrollable, it will stand out against all reasons and arguments, and nothing can move the will except God work upon it.
Worry accomplishes nothing good for our health and God’s glory. Worry often accompanies events that never affect us. Worry is often associated with the “what if” situations in the future. Beloved, trust God’s goodness and invest your energies in that which is more productive. Tomorrow will care for itself, but each day is filled with enough temptations and spiritual tests and opportunities to serve others and pray to keep us busy. Be thankful for the day that God has made, deal with the daily matters God has placed before you, find true peace that transcends the real pain that comes from living in a fallen world and then live each day, one day at a time.
Fresh green chilies, seeded and very finely chopped (up to 2)
1/4
c
Chopped coriander leaves
3
Chicken-breast fillets weighing about 12 oz (350 g)
3
tb
Flour
4
Eggs
The Juice of 1-1/2 inch (4-cm) piece of fresh ginger crushed in a garlic press, or the grated piece
Salt
Light vegetable oil for deep-frying, about 1 inch (2- 1/2 cm) deep
INSTRUCTIONS
Chop the scallions, chilies (half a chili is enough for me), and coriander
in the food processor. Then add the chicken, flour, eggs, ginger, and salt,
and process until the chicken is finely chopped and all the ingredients are
well blended. (I have overprocessed the chicken to a paste by mistake, and
the result was also delightful). Chill, covered, for 1-2 hours.
Deep-fry by the heaping tablespoon (dip the spoon in oil so that the
mixture does not stick) in medium-hot oil, turning over once, until browned
all over. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or cold.
The recipe makes about fourteen 2 1/2-inch (6-cm) fritters and up to
thirty-six tiny ones.
VARIATION:
An Indian Baghdadi arook thayin is made with a pinch of turmeric.
SERGIO'S NOTES:
Jews from Calcutta, Cochin, Persia, and Iraq began to settle in Burma, in
Southeast Asia, in the mid-nineteenth century. It was Jews of Baghdadi
origin who organized the congregation, and it is their style of cooking
that influenced the Jewish style that developed locally. During the
Japanese occupation, almost all the community fled, many of them to India.
This recipe was given to someone I know by Mrs. Philomene Jacobs of the
Baghdadi community in India. These delectable fritters - soft and creamy,
gingery and peppery - make splendid finger food. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD
