Junnu
Junnu is a telugu word for a sweet which is prepared from first day milk of cattle usually cow or buffalo (Pl. Let me know what is the word for junnu in english and hindi). This is my favourite sweet which i think iam missing here, but a good friend of mine prepared this and to my surprise it is not from lactating milk. The taste and texture looks exactly the same as junnu that it almost satisfies our craving. I thought to share this with my entry to JFI-milk hosted by Vineela.

Hello Sudha, I felt very happy to know that Junnu can be made even if we do not get that special milk.
I just want to know one thing before I go ahead and make it. Does it smell eggy?

Hi tweety..You don't get the eggy smell but you have to beat the eggs thoroughly. Also the flavours of cardamom powder and blackpepper dominates. If you want you can add little vanilla essence.

Hi sudha, I have no idea what it is called in english but in hindi they call it "CHEEK". in marathi they call it "Kharwas" I too love it. On my last visit to mumbai I ate this at one of the restaurants called "HIGHWAY GOMANTAK" they specialize in Kokani cusine (goan food)and junnu is served as the main desert. Try making it by adding saffron & garnished with slivered pistachios. The colour and taste is lovely.
