Any of the following true of you?

1. No time to wash dishes.

2. No time to eat at the temple.

3. No time to eat at Govinda’s.

4. Not much time to cook.

5. Not much time for grocery shopping.

If so, then this recipe may be for you!

Don’t let the simplicity of this Ekādaśī recipe fool you. It is incredibly delicious. It requires only 3 non-optional ingredients. It uses a disposable paper bowl¹ and a disposable plastic spoon¹ as the only cooking / eating utensils. None of the ingredients are perishable (Butter will keep for months in the freezer), so grocery shopping is minimized.


1. To a 20-oz. microwavable, disposable paper bowl¹, add 2 tablespoons (¼ stick) of butter.

2. Microwave until the butter melts.

3. Add an amount of your favorite jam or jelly which is approximately equal to the amount of butter.

4. Add some golden raisins. (optional)

5. Add some shredded coconut. (optional)

6. Microwave until the jam or jelly melts.

7. Mix, using a disposable plastic spoon¹.

8. Add ¼ cup of water.

9. Mix in powdered milk until the consistency of soft dough is reached.

10. Serve warm or cold, including the plastic spoon.


¹ At Wal-Mart®, I’ve purchased Dixie® brand 20-oz. microwavable paper bowls in packages of 30 for US$3.38 and Diamond® brand plastic spoons in packages of 48 for US$1.14.


² If the butter is at room temperature, then it could be melted at the same time as the jam / jelly.
