Baba Muktananda's "sour cereal", made at home

[MrCaptainComfort]

Do you know where this came from?; it is *JAIL FOOD*; Mukti was constantly being arrested for vagrancy and trespassing; this is the breakfast they served in Indian jails; Malti and Subashe's father was constantly bailing him out of jail; that's why he passed the lineage to "Chidvilasanda" & "Nityananda"; Mukti could not return to the US after his third world tour; law enforcement was ready to pick him up on rape - bye to Mike Dinga; sex, violence?; SYDA covered all the bases

God Bless You. I never lived in the ashramt I got the recipe in 1988 at The Informal Siddha Meditation Center in Gainesville, FL. Have never used bulgar but it sounds good. Also interested in the date thing. Dates and peppers, that sound delish.

I love sour cereal, now called savory cereal and I have a video myself up at my channel

[vajraloka1]

what ever happened to that lady sucssor? chidvalas or somthing? no vids of her?

[Ed534]

@vajraloka1 No YouTube vids, no. You can find her videotaped talks and singing at the Siddha Yoga website in the bookstore.

The Self shines of its own accord.

Such Self-awareness is the only Heaven,

This stillness, this abode of bliss.

I remember, too, from the Oakland and South Fallsburg ashrams. I have the recipe from the book Shidda Cooking, and remember eating it in the ashram FONDLY, covered in brewers yeast and ceyenne pepper. Oh, with either Baba coffee or hot chai. Great memories! I still cook it.

[heartslord]

Use nutritional yeast. Brewers yeast is a byproduct of brewing beer and tastes terrible. Nutritional yeast is the delicious nutty product we use in sour cereal and other foods.

I still have my copy of "Siddha Cooking" (1975) by Akkamahadevi Bendet.

Please show the making of 'sour cereal' step by step. Folks would love it!

[LittleRainfall]

@QueensLadyDay,

Namaste! =)

I've been looking for the book, but it isn't available anywhere... could you scan and post some of the best on YouTube? I'm specifically remembering the fried rice we'd get on holiday mornings, and all of the yummy bandhara goodies...

[janemacross]

@QueensLadyDay Pretty sure I still have mine too! I loved this cereal - SO good after the Guru Gita in the mornings!!

[QueensLadyDay]

Baba's South Fallsburg Ashram!!! I can smell and taste it right now!!! Those were the days!!! Om Namah Shivaya!!

[Suzers843]

Oh, this is great. I lived both in the Oakland ashram and the one on Oahu. I was the cook for awhile in Hawaii.  Such memories. Thank you!

[kaliyuga2758]

I soooooo... remember that smell in the Oakland Ashram and the sound of Baba droning the Guru Gita in the background.  A beautiful memory.

[AFINAGIRL]

Did you ever make the video with the steps of cooking the sour cereal? Is that carrots in there? 

[BohemianKitsch]

just this year, i was initiated into the Siddha lineage. i would VERY MUCH like to get that recipe from you.

that chant you were just playing on your phone was played at the summer retreat i attended in June. i didn't know that it was Baba Muktananda; i just knew that i loved it. :)

[AFINAGIRL]

@BohemianKitsch i found this but do not know if it is correct Ingredients: 3/4 cup any mix of cereal grains like millet, bulgar wheat, quinoa, steel-cut oats. 1 tsp whole cumin seeds 2-3 tbs of fresh grated or dry shredded coconut (not sweetened) 2 tbs finely chopped onion 1 tbs grated ginger 1 tsp salt or to taste 6-8 cups water Brewer's Yeast 2 tbs chopped fresh cilantro leaves

[AFINAGIRL]

@BohemianKitsch - the brewer's yeast and cilantro are added after cooking is done, I couldn't post everything at once, it wouldn't let me.

[BohemianKitsch]

@AFINAGIRL thank you for that.

daryldarko actually sent me two different sets of instructions a couple of weeks ago, and i made the soup, minus cumin or fennugreek. (i have this huge spice rack that i never use, and i just assumed that i would already have those herbs, but i didn't.) nonetheless, it turned out really good. :)

but thanks for posting insturctions here. that way other people can experiment with it for themselves.

[AFINAGIRL]

@BohemianKitsch - Thanks. Would you be able to give me your recipe? I would like to try this myself.
