ABOUT Junnu Gaddi Sweet RECIPE

Junnu is made with junnu gaddi in Andhra for special functions in Andhra Pradesh. Many call it as China grass, but I suggest it be called as Japan grass, because it was first discovered in Japan and was called as Kanten. It is also called as Agar-agar. Agar is a jelly like substance obtained from algae and looks like a transparent grass.
