Steamed Milk Sweet:
Junnu without cow’s lactating milk. Ginnu – Cheating method:) Seem Paal or Kadampu Paal Halwa. Milk Custard?! Bhappa Doi. Mishti Doi. Steamed Condensed Milk:)
They make a special dessert with cow’s first few day’s lactating milk. The lactating milk is very nutritious, high in protein and looks much deep yellow in color (kadambu paal/seem paal in Tamil).
While I was studying at Hyderabad, my friends kept raving about a dish made with cow’s first milk. It is called Junnu in Telugu. So, when I visited my place (Tamil Nadu), I asked my Dad’ whether its easy to find cow’s lactating milk’! I know its kind of hard to find in a city…where we manage ourselves with Aawin milk! But, my Dad really took it too personal and embarrassed me…he spread a word to all his workers, subordinates, friends, neighbors, who ever he bumped into…to look out for cattle owners! I felt very awkward and was so angry at him, back then…see I am not that foodie!!! One of my Dad’s driver(Murugesan) never gave up, he finally brought me ‘the cow’s first milk’. I was so exited and somehow managed to make that specialty sweet. It was awesome and its worth searching after all.:)
So, today…I simply tried to re-create the same dish without lactating milk, using some basics at home. Hmmm, not bad, it turned out great.:)
Ingredients:
Yogurts 1 bowl
Half n Half 4 cups(reduced milk)
Sugar – as per taste
Garnish with saffron/chopped nuts.
Method:
Hang the yogurts in cheese cloth for 2-4 hours. Let the liquid pass out, now retain the solids.
Now reduce the heavy milk(half n hlaf) into half again, by continuous boiling. Now mix this thick milk with yogurt solids and sugar. Blend and puree them, bring them to smooth perfection.
Now fill these in the dessert bowls and steam cook for 10 minutes.
Ta-Da, its ready. Now leave these in fridge for at least 2-4 hours.
Serve chilled:)
