Junnu is a traditional South Indian delicacy known for its soft texture, rich taste, and cultural significance. Traditionally prepared using fresh colostrum milk, Junnu is now easy to make at home with Kamadhenuvu Junnu Powder. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can enjoy authentic homemade Junnu anytime.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kamadhenuvu Junnu Powder (approximately 100g)
- 3½ cups full-fat milk (approximately 800ml)
- ½ cup sugar or jaggery (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
- A few strands of saffron (optional)
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Steaming vessel or pressure cooker
- Heat-resistant container
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
Pour 3½ cups (800ml) of full-fat milk into a mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup (100g) of Kamadhenuvu Junnu Powder and whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and lump-free.
Step 2: Add Sweetness and Flavor
Add ½ cup sugar or jaggery and stir until completely dissolved.
For additional aroma and flavor, mix in:
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- A few saffron strands
These ingredients are optional but enhance the traditional taste.
Step 3: Steam the Junnu
Pour the prepared mixture into a heat-resistant bowl or container.
Place it inside a steamer or pressure cooker without the whistle.
Steam on medium heat for approximately 25–30 minutes.
To check if it is ready, insert a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the Junnu is fully set.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Allow the Junnu to cool to room temperature.
For the best texture and taste, refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving.
Cut into pieces or serve directly from the bowl.
Tips for Perfect Junnu
- Always use full-fat milk for a rich and creamy texture.
- Do not over-steam, as this may make the Junnu dry.
- Adjust sugar or jaggery according to your preference.
- Refrigerating before serving improves firmness and flavor.
