junnu is really a milk pudding or cake referred to as ginnu in kannada and kharvas in Marathi. It's prepared while using colostrum milk that the cow produces for that first couple of days after it offers a calf. This milk is known as as junnu paalu in Telugu.
It's thought that this milk is filled with nutrients and colostrum which builds immunity in humans too. But shouldn't be consumed raw unless of course it's pasteurized or steamed well. The surplus milk following the calf consumes is shipped among buddies and relatives to convey their pleasure from the new arrival i.e. the calf.
To create junnu or kharvas. on the very first day, this milk is combined with regular dairy, jaggery, cardamom powder and pepper after which steam cooked until it firms up and turns into a pudding.Around the subsequent days, the colostrum milk can be used to create junnu because it is without diluting, first image
Some people enjoy having this runny that's of the consuming consistency, but we get it ready to some thicker cake like consistency that may be eaten with a spoon.
The pudding consistency or its texture depends upon the number of colostrum milk: normal milk. To obtain a consistency as observed in second photo, we diluted within the ration of just one:6 because it was the very first days milk. If you make use of the milk from second day on wards, no dilution ought to be done otherwise the pudding might not set.
This milk stays good frozen for around per month, if refrigerated for around 48 hrs. I don't be aware of safety if used over the period.
junnu or kharvas was made by my mother, within my trip to India last june. She usually stocks up this milk within the freezer whenever it's sent by buddies and relatives owning cows within their farms.I've also heard that colostrum powder will come in India that you can use to create Junnu. Junnu may also be made without needing junnu paalu or colostrum milk, will share that recipe sometime.
We use enough pepper powder because it is stated to chop lower the vata dosha that is because consuming this milk. It's your choice whether or not to use pepper or otherwise to.
