Junnu - Telugu
Ginnu - Kannada
Kharvas - Marathi
It is prepared using the colostrum milk that a cow/buffalo produces for the first few days after it delivers a calf. It is believed that this milk is full of nutrients and builds immunity in human body. I missed eating the fresh junnu being in the US, until I discovered Kamadhenu Junnu Powder. This dessert is very easy to make and tastes like a fresh one.
Ingredients:
Kamadhenu Junnu Powder - 1 packet
Milk - 2 cups
Sugar - 1 cup
Elaichi/Cardamom + Pepper powder - 1tsp
Almonds/Cashews small pieces - 2-3 tbs (optional)
