Very happy to come across Nadikotkur. My parents used to live in a nearby place called Kothakondapatur back in the early 1970's(long ago). They frequently visited some family friends in Nandikotkur. Feel happy to know that you are from a place where my parents have been. Vineela. Hi Indira,

I'm a Buddhist with a great respect for the wisdom of the Upanishads. We have a saying in Buddhism: "Take a lettuce leaf. Turn it into a Buddha as large as the universe. Now, turn it back into a lettuce leaf." We are mindful of this so that we can see the interconnectedness of all things and that our life is because of the sacrifice of another life. I must add that the recipe was delicious; I made it yesterday, and thought of my grandmother while making it. Thank you. <i>Dear Valerie, Without that interconnectedness, life would be nonexistent.

I am my grandma's girl and was after her all the time till I left home for colege. You would laugh if I tell that I would hold her saree tip during my night's sleep till that age. You made me remember her a lot. Since I wanted to post something of her recipes in a great hurry I couldn't make it in the last minute. thanks for the lovely recipe and your avva's photo reminds of mine! <i> Such close relationship with grandma is a beautiful thing, and I love it.

This was a familiar item to us when we visited our grandparents in coastal andhra - , but when my mother requested the milkman (in Hyderabad)to bring 'juunu palu', he admonished her for consuming the "baby - calf's milk!!... and that they would discard what the calf didn't drink. However business sense prevailed, and the milkman began to supply juunu palu periodically. I have since had some ambivalence about it and haven't tasted it in years. I find the mexican dessert "Flan" to be reminiscent of Junnu. <i>Hello Venaru, junnu is a great rare treat and I used to like it a lot when I was a child.
