In order to prepare this recipe, you will need a 4 cup (1 quart) microwavable bowl.

(Makes 1 or 2 servings)

1. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt to a 4 cup microwavable bowl.

2. Add ¼ teaspoon of asafeotida (available from East Indian grocery stores). (optional)

3. Add 2 teaspoons of curry powder.¹

4. Rock the bowl from side to side in order to distribute the salt and spices somewhat evenly.

5. Using your fingers, break off small pieces from a solid block of American style cheese, such as Kraft™ Velveeta, placing them into a measuring cup until the pieces rise to the 1 cup mark.²

6. Add the cheese to the 4 cup microwavable bowl.

7. Add ½ cup of water or ¾ cup of evaporated milk.

8. Microwave on high until the mixture starts to boil. (Approximately 1½ minutes.)

9. Add 2 cups of cold cereal such as Rice Chex™ or wheat bran flakes (Add 3 cups instead of 2 if you use puffed rice or puffed wheat.)

10. Mix thoroughly. (Mixture may seem too liquidy, but it will thicken as it cools.)

¹ I make my own curry powder by mixing the following five spices: 3 parts ground coriander, 1 part turmeric powder, 1 part ground cumin, 1 part ground fenugreek and 1 part ground red chili beans.

² A great substitute for American style cheese is 4 ounces (½ of an 8 ounce block) of cream cheese. Another great substitute is a package (4 tablespoons) of powdered cheese from a box of, for example, “Kraft™ Macaroni & Cheese Dinner.” (No need to add any milk, margarine, or additional butter.)
