Seem paal / Kadambu/ Junnu is the steamed cow’s first milk. One must be lucky to get fresh colostrum to make this in the authentic way. Lucky that we have many neighbours in our native to share this rare ingredient. If you have ever tasted the street vendor’s kadambu in T.Nagar area, remember that it is no where near the real taste of fresh kadambu. The milk is yellow in color and an authentic kadambu is mild yellow in color. Try your chance when you get one , to taste the purest of Gomatha’s love.
Ingredients:
cow’s first milk – 1/2 litre
cardamom- 4 numbers – crushed
sugar- to taste.
Procedure:
- Boil water in a pressure cooker.
- Mix sugar and cardamom with milk.
- Pour the milk in a vessel and place this in the cooker on top of a metal stand.

- Enjoy the easy to make and absolutely nutritious dish.

I am Nithya, a software engineer turned into college administrator officer and now slowly moving into complete homemaking as we are expecting a new addition to our family. I was born and brought up in busy chennai, currently settled in my lush green home town. I was once a novice cook, but having become a member of the house of incessant cooking ( yes, literally 🙂 ), got inspired from my mother-in-law's love for cooking. She is an expert chef who can cook for exactly even one person and also for 100 people. She has the patience to cook umpty number of dishes daily for our family but not even one for her sake... Here i will bepresenting her recipes.. Enjoy..
