My grandchildren refused vegetables. They had no idea.

Dense. Will use smaller lentils next time.

Whole family adopted this recipe in South Africa. My son says it reminds him of his grandmother's cooking.

My daughter was diagnosed with prediabetes six months ago and she was terrified about what she could still eat. I started making these cutlets for her every fortnight and bringing them over. She says they taste like real food, not diet food. That distinction matters enormously to her. It matters to me too.

I am seventy-eight and have been diabetic for fifteen years. My blood sugar improved noticeably after I started cooking this way. My doctor asked what I had changed and when I explained he was surprised and told me to continue. I have taped this recipe inside my kitchen cupboard where I keep the most important ones.

My mother who is ninety asked me to write this in her recipe book.
