What Is The Best Possible Way To Break Ekadasi-Vrata???

[krsna]

On the Dvadasi morning at the appropriate time after sunrise with a knock-out breakfast (breaking your fast from grains and beans) with kichari, pasta or a bowl full of gulabjamums???

Real gulabjamuns should have no grains and no baking soda. They should ideally be made with 1/2 khoa and 1/2 curds kneaded together. The backup way, the way Srila Prabhupada taught us, is with whole powdered milk made into a very thick paste. Making gulabjamuns correctly takes much longer than the current fashion, with flour and baking soada, because they must be cooked more slowly on a lower heat and watched constantly. They also need to soak for a couple of days. However, the result is something that makes the imitation sweetballs seem not at all worth the bother.
