Does any body know how to make JUNNU?

Hi Ladies !

Does any one know how to make JUNNU? I know we can make that with beast milk? Have u ever try that recipe or where can we find that milk?

Thanq...
Teja

the first milk we get frm cows or buffalos milk is used for making junnu
it can be used for 3-4 days milk
for if u can get such milk then u need to dilute it wht normal milk
like 1 part of junnu milk wht 3 parts of any milk add sufficient amt of sugar / jaggery
jaggery one is tastier but i like sugar wali
u add powder of elaichi and pepper to it
pour the whole mixture into a small vessel and steam it in ur pressure cooker for few min
tasty junnu is ready to eat
u can refrigrate it and eat
if u have sufficient amt of junnu milk take boxes of big carriage which u cud place one over another in one u put sugar mixed in other jaggery mixed and taste both the types
gud luck

HI RADHA ,

THANQ VERY MUCH FOR UR YUMMY RECIPE.I ALSO LIKED THE SUGAR ONE MUCH BETTER THAN WITH JAGGARY.ALSO HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS

(1) CAN I USE CURRENT COOKER INSTEAD OF PRESSURE COOKER?
(2) I AM CURRENTLY IN CANADA N I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE CAN I GET THAT MILK. SO DO U KNOOW THAT WHERE CAN I GET THAT MILK FROM ANY KIND OF INDIAN GROCERIES OR SOME WHERE ELSE?

THANKS AGAIN
TEJA

So Tejudatla...You did manage to get your junnu recipe and tried and have even shared the recipe with us IL'ites! Good for you. When I first read about your query for Junnu here, I too remembered very vaguely about eating it as a child. I am now amazed that it is possible to make something similar here using the ingredients that are available. This is called perseverance!

Hi SRILAK,

I made this recipe just now n Ur junnu looks the same as we get natural ones from back home
Thanks for sharing the golden receipe.

Yes, Kamla I have been trying for this Junnu since we came to Canada. But never ever heard about the recipe that we can make in this way. I luv it very much since my childhood and I missed it a lot. EVen I am not pregnant I still have cravings for it. Finally I have no carvings for Junnu, I simply made it in easiest way within an hour n tried it . It was simply superb with the same taste n same color....... Thanks for such a sweet site

HI Teja,

So U prepared your junnu....Congrats for that and finally u accomplished your goal. For me,in my childhood I have lot of good memories with Junnu. We used to have so many buffalos and making junnu is very natural in my home. My mother is very expert in it.

I also tried junnu with China grass......something like grass type,last time my mother-in-law sent me. It came out very well,u just have to soak this china grass in milk then add jagary or sugar and pepper then steam it.Just like normal junnu making process.

Srilak.
